14 DAY TRIAL // Answers to questions related to what exactly is going on inside Microsoft’s Redmond campus are not easy to come by. Fact is that the software giant is doing its best to keep all internal affairs under a tight lid. Of course, every once in a while details do manage to sneak through the company’s fingers and end up on the web for the people to scrutinize. It is the case of the “Life at Microsoft - The Truth Revealed...again!” video which you will be able to find embedded at the bottom of this article.
“False rumors about life at Microsoft abound, like "drinking the juice" or sleeping at our desks; even that everybody watches Battlestar Galactica. Truth is: only most of us watch it. In a continued effort to debunk the rumors once and for all, I present to you - Life at Microsoft Episode 2,” revealed Channel 10’s Tina Wood.
And for those of you that this video strikes a familiar note, and delivers a sense of déjà vu, you should know that it’s not the company’s first foray into the realm of self-irony. The same Tina Wood also started in the first installment of Life at Microsoft. I took the liberty of also embedding the first episode provided by Microsoft, you’ll be able to find it just below the most recent content published on Channel 10.
Personally, I find the first video a tad more comical than the latest material from Channel 10. But, this is not to say that both videos aren’t hilarious, and that they don’t fully deserve a few minutes of your time. You’ll find out that Tina has learned that there’s really no “I” in team and what’s it like to swim to work, which by all means, is as ecological as possible.
