It looks like a group of people inside Microsoft that fought decades ago for rights and it seems like people took notice.That's the cutest thing I've ever heard you say @smf.
Do you think they did that to encourage people to speak out about their feelings, aspirations, and about how caring Microsoft is as a company?

Companies don't care about anything, the people who own or work in the companies do.
I know people who have worked at Microsoft, so I believe it too.Good people work at Microsoft. I believe it.
I don't know why you would ask that, it's not up to you to determine someones potential or the path they should take.Same, though I do question if they are limiting their potential.

No matter how much you really really want it to be.
Microsoft is many things, your description is hyperbole.I could say that I question every Microsoft employee's decision, simply due to their status as a predatory megacorp. What I was speaking from was a friend who clearly became unhappy ever since taking the job.
It's a generalization based on decades of documented behavior of Microsoft's role in the industry. Here are some examples:Microsoft is many things, your description is hyperbole.
I am not sure how your friends buyers remorse is relevant to their lgbtqi+ policy, is your friend lgbtqia+?
You don't really believe those banks or Microsoft give a shit about gay pride, do you?
I was purely responding to Viri's statement. Companies don't care about anything, they are just a construct of the people who work there. How they deal with business and how they deal with issues outside of their business are two completely unrelated things and you're just arrogantly making it up if you think you know what is going on in their minds.We were talking about the idea of a "caring" company vs good people working at said company.
You said Microsoft cares and I mocked it because they don't care, as you say, now, and as Viri said then. What does Microsoft "think" if it cannot "care"?I was purely responding to Viri's statement.

My view is that the advent of social media and the acceleration of the news cycle has spawned a culture that almost REQUIRES a person to take sides on any issue that ever comes up, and justifies people to villify and despise anyone who doesn't agree with them. We're all scared and angry, and there has to be a better way.
You got me, I wasn't pedantic in my reply to Viri, because he's not being an asshole.You said Microsoft cares and I mocked it because they don't care, as you say, now, and as Viri said then. What does Microsoft "think" if it cannot "care"?

You mock a lot of things, because you are.
Your inability to keep up with the conversation, is not really my problem.
With all the hate that supporting LGBTQIA+ brings with it, with no tangible benefit for doing so, I don't see how you come to the conclusion you have.
No, I just forgot how dumb you were.but you were trying to have your cake and eat it too by saying Microsoft doesn't care and Microsoft cares, lol.
The employees of Microsoft are the people who care, people have an incentive to care about things they care about. What is so difficult to understand? I don't believe they will make more money from sales than the money they donated, which appears to be Viri's argument.You are suggesting Microsoft didn't have any incentive in pleasing their employees/potential customers and supporting them?
No, I just forgot how dumb you were.
"Microsoft Corp NASDAQ: MSFT" doesn't care about anyone. Businesses aren't sentient.
The people who work at Microsoft care.
Believing a company will work against its own interest is quite an amazing claim. The conversation stemmed from a wiki to what Microsoft was doing to make its employees happy, and you acted like that wouldn't benefit Microsoft. You have no clue. Lol.I don't believe they will make more money from sales than the money they donated, which appears to be Viri's argument.
You seem confused, you are now arguing that my point was correct all along.Yes, that never needed clarifying. Viri's comment wasn't confusing. You suggesting that "Microsoft might" as opposed to "banks", the whole point went over your head. Banks can "care" the same way Microsoft does. Not at all, as corporations, and yes as people.
