Visio and Microsoft's Cultural Differences
from the integration-problems? dept
Looks like Microsoft might have a bit of a problem trying to integrate Visio's employees into their culture. It seems as though Visio prides itself on treating its employees very different from Microsoft, and, in fact, that is how they used to recruit a lot of employees. Microsoft is fairly well known for killing any sort of independent culture within seconds of any of their acquisitions. Oh well. I guess they bought them for the products and not the people.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
