And you thought your boss was weird

Microsoft's Steve Ballmer has always been a bit weird, but his farewell speech this week set new levels.

It is pretty vomit-inducing but Ballmer's always been a tit...a tit good with numbers.

Tony think that's weird tbh. He has been there a very long time. Pretty emotional guy.

Wish my boss showed 1% of that emotion

Everyone did. That's why Nokia, blackberry et al are all on their knees. Nobody predicted it.

You Brits and your stiff upper lip. I found his speech uplifting and emotional. Ok, so MSFT is a bit cultish, but how can you not be moved after that speech and for all he has done for that company. I even hate that song at the end but was still moved. I'm sure I'm going to get a bag of ****e for this but the comments above come off as snarky, petty, and perhaps a bit jealous. Full disclosure, I work for a company with a similar cult like attitude and leaders, on a much smaller scale though.
