Do they really reason like this? Oh my. That's stupid. And here I was thinking Microsoft employs clever people.
As a programmer, I've had numerous colleagues who have ended up as software engineers at MS. They were mostly either unbelievably lazy or extremely incompetent. The rest who were both ended up there as managers.
TBF this was all more than 5 years ago when the job interviewing process at most IT companies involved just putting a moistened finger underneath the candidate's nostrils. Apparently the programmer job market is pretty horrific these days, although I wouldn't know since I drive a school bus now.
