Steve Ballmer: Thanks to me, Microsoft screwed up a decade in phones

Ballmer's Microsoft swan song might not be far away

Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer may be leaving the company he once called his "child" sooner than some expected.

...That the former CEO might be looking for the door at Microsoft would signal a significant change for a man who has dedicated his life to the software giant for decades. But it's clear now that his influence is waning at Microsoft. And with Bill Gates coming back to advise Nadella, Ballmer's role at the company is unclear.

Good riddance!

My sentiments exactly.

Wow.. no love for Steve here.

This up$et$ him to no end..

Microsoft employees already like new CEO Nadella vastly more than Ballmer

Right now, Nadella has an approval rating of 82% among Microsoft employees, which isn’t quite as high as the CEOs of Facebook, Google or Apple but still would have been high enough for him to make Glassdoor’s top 50 list if he’d been on the job for longer than two months. In contrast, longtime Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer had just a 47% approval rating last October, roughly a month after he announced his planned retirement.
