>Microsoft had editorial control over this post, cutting sections and figures and reshaping how the impact is described before publication.
that is... not great. shame on microsoft.
its actions like that which shed light on why we get the nighmare eclipses of the world. pressuring a kid into handing over full editorial control of a disclosure is gross.
I don't have the full letter at hand, but basically:
- new job paid almost 3x than this one
- I was the sole maintainer of an important project and they had no one else
so they made me not tell anyone I was leaving, and the letter was edited to make it less obvious how much of a better opportunity the new job was.
