		wolco on Oct 26, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Microsoft Wins Pentagon’s $10B Contract What do we make of the remaining bidders? aws.. the employees would be fired if they revolted. Microsoft the employees didn't care to revolt. The fact that google employees could revolt and change a big decision says something. Tons of stories on why google is evil and microsoft and amazon are the toast of the town. I would rather have google in that position vs amazon/microsoft/oracle because there is a soul and heart at the core of google. The core of Microsoft is different same with Amazon.

Didn't Microsoft employees revolt when Microsoft was making some special Hololens devices for the US army?

About 50 people signed some petition (most of them weren't even working on hololens). Not much out of the 120 000 people working at MSFT

They were quickly clamped down even for this contract.
