Balmer was a terrible CEO by nearly every measure, but the one that stands out for me is the culture he cultivated where team members would actively undermine one another just for a better performance review.

I worked under him. We gamed the system by doing a round robin of bad reviews with the understanding the next review will be a huge improvement.

Genius! I hope you did well there 🙂
