“Fucking Eric Schmidt [Google CEO] is a fucking pussy. I’m going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to fucking kill Google.
…
Google’s not a real company. It’s a house of cards.”
Those were the words, according to a court-sworn statement, uttered by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer moments after former employee Mark Lucovsky informed him that he would be leaving for Google. LOL 🙂
Not happy with his expletive filled tirade, Ballmer also threw a chair across the room to demonstrate his “disappointment” with Lucovsky’s decision.
Ballmer has issued a statement describing the document’s description of events as a “gross exaggeration”. Maybe he just called Schmidt a “sissy” instead of a “pussy”?
One day, when I do decide to leave the BBC, I’d be well chuffed if someone threw a chair at me! But it’s more likely the door will just hit me on the arse on the way out…
