It must be EZ mode to be a big tech executive, you somehow have all the power to make every decision while also having the ability to never take the fault for these decisions.
I would much rather have a company with a culture that isn’t afraid to take calculated risks and not be afraid of repercussions when they take risk as long as it doesn’t cause consumer harm.
"Not doing consumer harm" is carrying a lot of weight there.
Either way what you describe is perfectly achievable for the workers, but at some point management needs to own up to their failures and getting rewarded because the board is also made up of executives at other big tech companies is a perverse incentive to never actually improve.
I mean forcing copilot everywhere I don't want it (nowhere) while jacking up prices to justify it and using Windows 11 to serve ads is harmful to me. There's also you know... the anticompetitive company that thinks buying new sectors is healthy.
What does that have to do with what I'm saying? Today Copilot is being shoved in services I don't want which they are then in turn using to justify cost increases.
How is that not consumer harm?
Hopefully in the future the FTC will break up Microsoft, forcing them to split Azure, Office, and Windows. They clearly can't be trusted with all 3.
