    If microsoft stopped producing anything today, they would still make billions per year for many years

      They would, but eventually their competition will overtake them and they will start losing customers and market share. They have to innovate at least a little bit if they wish to stay in the dominant market position that they are in.

        As long as they have one employee who just constantly renames products, they will be okay.

        Disagree. All they need is a small army of marketers to keep convincing executive idiots they need to have MS Office 365.

    To the 9,000, don’t go back if they ask you to. Seriously.

      The people who make the products shit are probably in leadership, so their jobs are fine. Even if they run the company into the ground, they’ll still be fine with their golden parachutes, already vast wealth, and uncanny ability to fail upward.
