        This is every forum response on MS forums, it’s infuriating.

        “I have super specific error code with super specific driver that was changed with super specific windows update.”

        “Me too!”

        “Same, here’s some more info from event viewer”

        “Maybe try uninstalling the device”

        “Uninstall my WiFi card?”

        “Hi I’m bob from Microsoft you should run sfc scan now and that will fix it”

        “That didn’t fix it”

        “Ok here’s how to reinstall windows”

        It’s better than the Linux Mint support forums that blocks VPN users and the power users just deny that they’re blocking VPN users.

      As former MSFT employee who just got replaced by India… I’m kind of relieved I’m gone. Working for them felt like working for the bad guys

        What did you expect? That corps would solve climate change or what?

        The pigs on the very top are secured and that’s enough

      As someone working in the Microsoft ecosystem at an MSP, we seriously wonder what the fuck goes on over there. We’re supposed to defend everything y’all do which is getting really hard to justify without sounding like idiots.

        Hey there. Learn how to stop carrying. A job doesn’t define who you are and you’re at least free to be anyone outside the working hours.

        I learned to be a cog in this inhumane machine in exchange for a paycheck

            Thanks mate, I’m not American and although I have money, I can’t get to a psychiatrist.

            Don’t worry, it’s not emotional.

            What is wrong with you that makes you think this is an appropriate response to “I am planning a suicide”? As somebody who has stared down the business end of a 12 gauge solution, you’re frankly despicable.

                This makes no logical sense lol. OP says he’s going to commit suicide, his comment gets upvotes, therefore his comment is sarcasm?? Right or wrong this is just an awful way to decide. How others react to something isn’t indicative of that thing’s original intent… That should be pretty obvious.

        Not everyone has the luxury of choosing where they work. People need to eat. Are some people complacent? Sure. But that doesnt mean every person working at Microsoft is a horrible person.
