    It’s a real ”we live in a society” moment that my first thought was that this must be because Microsoft recently surpassed the $1 trillion mark.

    I love shareholder value focused capitalism joker-dancing

    Sorry fellow unemployed programmers, you can’t get an entry level job because you are now going up against people with MicroShaft on their resumes because the entire industry is fucking bullshit now just like everything else.

    And yet the breast milk in the break room fridge is still being stolen on a weekly basis. Do better, Microsoft.
