Microsoft's Ballmer
Gives Tearful Farewell
In Last Company Meeting
Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer, long known for his boisterous and passionate personality, gave the masses yet another memorable video performance on his way out the door.
In his last company-wide meeting before he officially retires, Ballmer took the stage to give an emotional goodbye to the company he's worked for since 1980. Ballmer was showered with applause from thousands of Microsoft employees, whom he thanked for their years of service and support as part of "the greatest company in the world."
"This isn't about any one person. This about this company," Ballmer said. "It's about a company that's important, that's forward-thinking, that's innovative, that's ethical, that hires great people and lets them lead great lives, that helps people around the world realize their full potential."
