Even at drunk-Ballmer peak, Microsoft was never particularly evil. Compare with Oracle (true, pure evil), Uber, Intel, gosh, I could go on and on..

You wouldn't believe some of the stories I could tell you about Microsoft.

I would love to hear them, and I suspect I wont be surprised. This move for D&I is quite serious, and much of this comes down to "Ways to find out that you are an asshole" and "How to stop being an asshole" and variations on the subject.

I don't even know where to begin
I've had to call physical security because of threats (!!), they've made up accusations to get me investigated, and just plain old trying to interfere with my career. I have friends at Microsoft, but the org is rotten.3 replies 0 retweets 7 likes -

One time, after spending a year pleading with them to fix a vulnerability, they started threatening me (lawyers, career, pr, the usual). I ignored them, so they started demanding my managers silence me, but that didn't work either. So they escalated higher... All. the. way.

Confirm. I was for a while an Enemy Of Microsoft. They contacted conference organizers where I was gonna speak and said “why are you featuring Bad People? Forget about sponsorships” and sundry other ratfucking moves. But that was a looooooooooooong time about.
