To avoid company-internal pressure.
Microsoft is pretty cult-like nowadays. Employees need to write weekly self-assessments using Copilot, which are used to judge their “growth mindset” and decide if they get a raise, or fired.
Not saying it can’t be, but I’ll be more convinced by an article that is a bit less emotionally loaded. It’s clear that the author has a bone to pick with Microsoft, and it reads as it’s written by a high schooler who wants to LARP as a journalist.
Just to be clear I have been in big tech corpos with cult-ish undertones and I have also seen the mindset poppycock shoved to my face multiple times, it’s not that I find their contents hard to believe. I just find that article hard to trust.
