Microsoft posted this blog post titled "Ambition is good; action is better: Making progress on our climate commitments" two days ago:

The value of their actions seems pretty clear cut.

An open question for me is how much employee pressure actually influences the decision making process at megacorps like this. Is Microsoft genuinely concerned about its employees leaving/striking over this? Are they worried about negative PR from the noise the employees are making? Are they not worried at all?

I imagine Bill Gates isn’t super happy about this perception of his creation. Would he speak out against this? Would that scare away the people making these contracts?

Only at Google is employee voice truly heard compared to the rest of FAANG and Microsoft.
