Microsoft was a key part of downtown Bellevue. Now it has all but left
Microsoft spent half a decade as Bellevue’s largest employer. But an almost complete exit from the city left it out of the top 10 last year.
As employees opted for hybrid and remote work options in the latter years of the COVID pandemic, Microsoft has been retreating to its Redmond campus.
Microsoft has not enforced a companywide return-to-office policy, unlike its local tech peer Amazon, which requires employees to spend three days a week in the office.
All the shit I give about a Microsoft, I hope they stay remote.
Ive been a remote worker for years. It's great.
Their software allows me to work remote, so good on them.
The old timers will remember NT 4 and eat your own dog food.
It is probably excellent for user experience when they are forced to live with their own mistakes.
eat your own dog food
I die a little inside every time I hear the phrase "drink your own Champaign". It's agonizing, like a 40 degree day.
