Devoid of [[conservative]] leadership, Microsoft was neither innovative nor competitive, and by 2014 it had been far surpassed by Apple, Google and smaller, innovative companies. In 2014, Microsoft announced layoffs of 14% of its workforce, totaling 18,000 jobs.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-layoffs-2014-7?op=1</ref>

But, now in 2019, they are massively wealthy again, and their liberal and selfish ways, have utterly ruined the lives of people who live in Redmond or Bellevue.
They hire massive numbers of people, from around the world, at high salaries, and this drives the cost of housing up greatly. A 1000 square foot house nearby, built 60 years ago, now sells in two days for $750, 000. Plus, by bringing in so many people, from around the world, there is tremendous overcrowding. So developers manipulate retail properties, and build massive apartment buildings, attracting MS employees, who care nothing about the Eastside culture and dignity, and this causes the overcrowding and terrible traffic.
A ten minute commute, in 2015, can now be an hour.
Most people who have lived near MS, for years, are now reluctantly leaving their homes of 40 years, because of the taxes, traffic and the vast change in the caliber of people in the areas near Microsoft.
MS has begun a multi billion dollar renovation of some buildings on the main campus.
In short, a liberal mentality, has completely ruined the culture and lives of honest citizens, within a ten mile radius of MS.

Microsoft was founded in 1975 by Gates and Allen, after Gates dropped out of Harvard because he had an intense fascination with computers. Microsoft is a portmanteau of "microcomputer" and "software."
