“We expect all of our
employees to have a real passion for technology”. So once you learn to fake an intense “passion” for any company’s current vision of technology you’re on your way to a financially rewarding
career. True passion is not like that. Anybody who has ever been in love knows it’s a bitch, to feel so deeply about anyone or anything always has inherent conflicts. Passion is not devotion, it‘s a vision about what can be, you’ve imagined it and now you want to make it. Conflict is part of the creative process, individuals bring different perspectives and we learn from each other. I've just spent three days with some amazing
individuals, who are challenging Microsoft to be
better; our passion is
Microsoft’s potential.
