MS is loosing reputation 'rabidly'. If you're concerned about your career, probably this is the right time to jump ship; after all, you'll want to show that you can improve a company and not the other way around.
Nobody would hire Ballmer, so he'll sink with the ship.

I'd rather take career advice from a street bum than you. Wink

Ex-Xbox Boss 'Lives Like A Saudi Prince'
http://www.businessinsider.com/don-mattrick-zynga-ceo-2013-7

Quote:

His home is the largest in British Columbia, Canada and it's worth $27 million. It has a 10-car garage, and it's filled.

When Laporte asked Mattrick how many cars he owned, he just smiled. She said, "A dozen?" He responded, "Ish." As in, he has a dozen-ish cars. The cars he owns include Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Lotuses.

I'm pretty sure you take your console advises from such people as well.
I care little about it though - if that's the best you can do, that's the best you're going to get.

MS is loosing notoriety 'violently'. In case you're worried about your profession, most likely this is the perfect chance to escape; all things considered, you'll need to show that you can improve an organization and not the reverse way around.

No one would recruit Ballmer, so he'll sink with the boat.
