Сотрудники Microsoft о раунде увольнений и снятии телефона Kin с продаж

Сотня-другая анонимных комментариев по поводу закрытия телефонного проекта Kin компанией Microsoft дает интересную возможность увидеть жизнь компании изнутри, хотя многое сводится к разработчикам, ругающим мидл-менеджмент, и мидл-менеджмент, ругающий топ-менеджмент:

I wonder why in the wake of the Kin debacle everyone is blaming Lees, Ho and Myerson while Matt Bencke is being let off the hook. He was the one who approved the flawed business model that depended on the operators charging MORE for a Pink plan than an unlimited plan. He was the one who approved the business projections based on this fictitious assumption. He is the one who used those projections to get the Danger deal through. He is the one who sold deal to Verizon and Vodafone that Microsoft would be unable to deliver. He was the one who pushed for important features to be cut so a team could be put to work on the "international expansion" that never arrived.

To top incompetence with lack of integrity, he is the kind of person who would ask someone on his team to pay for a $1000+ Ferragamo coat (after Bencke left his on a plane) with the corporate card and expense it.
