Poor bloke. A certain Dan Woodman got a job for Microsoft back in 2008. He was so pleased about it. So pleased that he only went and got himself a corporate tattoo. Not the brand’s logo but a blue monster, apparently something used in internal communications. So pleased that he even blogged about it. Wow.
Sadly for Dan, he – and 1,400 other employees – got laid off leaving Dan with a rather bitter memory. The thing is, unlike the Murphys, he’s not bitter.
“Working at Microsoft has been the greatest experience of my life and I have no desire to forget about it” he continues that “even if I don’t get back into Microsoft right away (which is, by the way, my plan!), then I have a reminder that even outside of Microsoft, I need to do my best to change the world every single day.”
Wow.
