A lot of Microsofties say "Google is done. That is what you get for not innovating" "Microsoft has the best AI" "I would rather work for Microsoft than Meta or Google" They did literally nothing in AI. If they had fired all AI researchers and kept partnership with OpenAI, today would be the same. It is more like a venture capitalist at this point. Why are they so arrogant
Here’s the thing: Google is the only big tech company that was completely superior to us in every single aspect. - Amazon had great pay but horrible WLB, PIP and benefits. - Meta and Netflix had great pay and benefits but bad WLB and fire culture - Apple also reportedly has bad work culture. But we had nothing on Google.. great pay, good WLB, good work culture, benefits; they had it all. Pretty much every single Microsoft employee would leave their jobs in a heartbeat if Google came calling. So the idea that Google is declining and we somehow “lucked out” by continuing to work at Microsoft is a very enticing thought. This thing with ChatGPT has given us the spark to further nurture this thought.
But this won't change your pay either right? So I am not sure what you gain here, the prestige?
What we’re gaining is the fleeting sense of pride; our time in the sun; momentary prestige or whatever you may call it. Also, TC does indeed go up a little if the stock price continues to increase. Investors are clearly buying into this story. At the very least, it’s not in free-fall like some other big tech companies so that’s a relative plus.
they think they are the mafia It’s also because they have to work on and with windows 💩 endless buggy updates
Not seen any MS folks talk this way. Not even in the blind. MS blind themselves admit they could not have made chatgpt.
It’s part of a larger cultural issue at Microsoft. It’s fairly toxic here. My guess is most of us are tired of being the tier 2, lower paid, not as smart folk so the second a “better” company like Google makes a mistake we pounce on it to try to deflect from our own insecurities
It’s fairly toxic at Google too. It’s actually fairly toxic *everywhere*.
Hiding away the sorrow of Low TCs. Satya gives 0 fucks about softies. softies worship him
Both companies are garbage!
Google has 10x better engineer than Microsoft. Satya is sounding arrogant now, He will get his medicine soon. Microsoft has early mover advantage but Google and Amazon is going to roll over him in next 2 years in AI It is just that google and Amazon were caught off guard and open ai had explosive growth and Microsoft was working with them in background for years. Things will normalize in next 2 years and google and Amazon will be far ahead than Microsoft.
One thing you might agree on that even if MS is not behind the innovation, it managed to start the AI tech war which otherwise might have never happened! No matter who wins, the tech landscape is going to change and this is because MS started a fight where it has nothing to lose and Google has everything on stake!
As someone who holds both Microsoft and Google stock, I'm enjoying it
If you find those arrogant bastards then let us know, we'll remind them what they are. Not all of us are arrogant, some are bullies too.
People are stupid
Do you mean the OP or Microsoft people or me ?
