MICROSOFT – LIKE ALL BIG TECH – IS NOT AN AMERICAN COMPANY BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION?
I should note that despite a decade of effort, the cost efficiency of indian outsourcing does not play out as expected or claimed. And I should note that the marketing staff of my company did the research for microsoft back in the mid 2000s, and then it was not a savings but an investment in the possibility it might be.
The difference arises when the work is largely maintenance or production, and not innovation and response time, and if you can hire a full time team at large scale so that the people are consistent, there is little turnover so knowledge is retained, and the company has a meaningful interest you as a customer. In other words you cannot outsource responsibility. Or you end up paying the companies you should have in the first place to ‘salvage’ what they can.
Americans and Europeans should take note that yes, microsoft has a global customer base … but that the tech sector whether microsoft, google, facebook, or apple, are effectively at war against the white male population of our countries.

Also note that microsoft and Amazon consumer sectors are NOT their core business. Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS produce the majority of the revenue for both companies, with google the ‘unwanted stepchild’ for having failed at it, and now pivoting to try to catch up. In fact, I’m more than a little concerned that the domestic influence of Amazon is so profound while it’s not the moneymaker for the company.

APPLE
Only 34% of Apple employees are white males.

FACEBOOK
Only 30% of Apple employees are white males.
FB set the goal of at least 50% by 2024.
Facebook intentionally obscures it’s measures, so I’m not quite how accurate these are.

GOOGLE
Only 30% of google employees are white males.

MICROSOFT
Only 32% of Microsoft Employees are White Males. 47% of Microsoft Employees are Ethnic Europeans, and of them 70% are male ethnic europeans.
