Anybody in that room has personally driven in excess of $100mm in value - maybe closer to $1b. You may not like what they deliver (I haven’t really used windows since windows 7 for instance) but beware the nerd trap of thinking your assessment of the product is what matters to a corporation ..

I understand it doesn’t matter to the game they’re playing. It just seems off putting from my side, to brag in a way that is so divorced from the good or bad you’re doing to the world.

Perhaps it’s the use of general terms like success and value what irks me about corporate culture. Making millions in place of making the world better is ok, but idealizing it this way is another matter.
