Not really....but he was funny AF back in the day.

I was at this event, as an employee, at the Bellevue Meydenbauer Center. He's the real deal.
Actually he quit business school at Stanford after his first year to take a winger on Gates and MSFT while all his classmates had the opportunity to go on to nice safe lucrative consulting and IB jobs. Then negotiated a performance based comp package that ended up making him the third biggest shareholder in the company despite coming in as employee number 30. It was certainly a lot more than blind luck, and more than any of the tough guys in their armchairs throwing stones here have shown themselves capable of. The guy was brilliant at building a massive, dominant corporation and sucked at running it when it was mature, not sure why that's so hard to accept?Bald-mer was in the right place at the right time. Nothing more.
Are you seriously saying that a well documented fact, backed in my case by conversations that I've personally heard from several of Balmer's classmates is "whatever you say" because I wasn't there? What's the matter with you?Whatever you say.
Yet neither one of us was there.
Are you fucking serious?Are you seriously saying that a well documented fact, backed in my case by conversations that I've personally heard from several of Balmer's classmates is "whatever you say" because I wasn't there? What's the matter with you?

You seem to be disputing that the Balmer attended the GSB for a year and dropped out in order to be an early employee at MSFT. It's simply a well established, biographical, utterly noncontroversial fact. Of course the school must be in the the lie too? (Steve Ballmer: Evolving as a Leader as Your Company Grows | Stanford Graduate School of Business) Picking a fight over something you could have verified in 10 seconds on Google is simply trolling. Again, what's your problem, you're typically not a troll?Are you fucking serious?
You heard personally .... some of Baldy classmates say ....
Oh that's a lock-solid documented "fact" - you verifying - what you say - you heard. Whatevvvvvvver.
LMAO
