Boozy Microsoft meets
By Techgirl

I used to think of Microsoft as a solid but bit boring company.  But a Court case in UK has revealed a wild party culture.  The court case started when Microsoft sacked its General Manager designate, UK, Mr. Negus, for kissing a colleague.  The married Mr. Negus has sued Microsoft for loss of earnings and wrongful dismissal.  Telegraph UK has the details

In papers lodged at the High Court, Mr Negus described a Microsoft annual sales conference in which “drunkenness and outrageous misbehaviour were rife”.

He also claims Mr Frazer deliberately set out to block his rise through the company. His evidence about the Microsoft Global Exchange conference paints a picture of wild behaviour, fuelled by “unlimited quantities” of vodka and Jagermeister. According to the court papers, one director was so “ridiculously drunk” he followed Emma Cloney, a manager, into the ladies’ lavatories. Another executive was “so p***** he could not remember a thing”.
