史蒂夫?鮑爾默即將離職

今年八月，史蒂夫?鮑爾默稱他將在12個月內卸任微軟CEO一職。今年早些時候，他對《華爾街日報》（the Wall Street Journal ）表示：“到頭來，我們需要打破一種模式。讓我們面對現實吧：我就是一個模式。”發表了這個聲明之后，鮑爾默開始進行巡回視察，寫了熱情揚溢的最后一封致股東的信。他在公司的一次會議上進行告別演講時不僅動情落淚，還隨著麥克爾?杰克遜的歌曲Wanna be Startin' Somethin跳了一支舞。

Steve Ballmer says he's stepping down

In August, Steve Ballmer declared he would step down as Microsoft's (MSFT, Fortune 500) CEO within 12 months. "At the end of the day, we need to break a pattern. Face it: I'm a pattern," he told the Wall Street Journal earlier this year. Since the announcement, Ballmer has been on a farewell tour of sorts, authoring a last, passionate shareholders' letter, even breaking down in tears and dancing to the Michael Jackson track, "Wanna be Startin' Somethin,'" as he delivered a farewell speech at a company meeting.
