Employees of technology giant Microsoft accused current leaders Alex kipman, Tom Keane and former executive vice president Terry Myerson of misconduct, including misconduct and abuse.
According to insider, dozens of current and former employees claim that the behavior of these executives can be traced back to the behavior of Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates when they were in power with impunity. (Ballmer left the company in 2014; Bill Gates stepped down as CEO in 2008 and left the board in 2020 after investigating his relationship with a female employee.)
One case involved kipmann, who had worked in the company for more than 20 years, who allegedly watched virtual reality pornographic content during the conference.
Insider said that a group of staff reported dozens of allegations against kipmann, but there was no obvious punishment or condemnation.
Another veteran employee with 20 years of experience also described Keane as an executive who "cuts people to pieces".
A former executive described how Keane shed tears when she stopped the meeting to condemn the employees.
The report continues to point out that Myerson abused employees during his tenure.
In 2018, he left the company after a public incident in which he reprimanded employees at a company event. A source explained that such situations would attract the attention of CEO Satya NADELLA.
"If this is a serious and shocking thing, he will deal with it," said a woman who worked directly with NADELLA. "But it must be something that puts him in danger."
The report goes on to say that Microsoft's efforts for racial equality are only symbolic.
"I had a lot of conversations just to tick off a 'minority group,'" a black employee explained. "I wasted a lot of time and other people's time."
In addition, some employees of Microsoft began to express their unease about the merger after Microsoft agreed to acquire and received a number of accusations against activism blizzard in the workplace.
"We can't even take care of our own house," a Microsoft employee told insider. "Now we just buy one that's worse."
Last year, Microsoft shareholders asked the company to stop concealing workplace allegations. They voted that the company report its sexual harassment policy and the results of investigations involving its executives.
