Chief
Having left Microsoft abruptly, and now IBM more recently (out of work since December), I've learned the reality first hand that we are not valued by a company nor their executive leadership, we are quite literally numbers on a spreadsheet or colors on an infograph. I respect former managers and colleagues, but I have zero ego tied to a company name or the owner/CEO.
I've interviewed at Microsoft and Oracle, and have applied at IBM during this period of reset, and hold no ill will, though I am also no longer starry-eyed and expecting to retire there. Simy because these are companies where my decades of experience will be valued at the manager level, and the job and income would ne something I can enjoy. I literally have no thoughts about the executive leadership at this point, I just want to be able to feed my family.
