Microsoft snubs own staff for outsiders

Volesters can only squeak in dismay

THE CEO OF Microsoft is choosing people from outside the company to do work for him rather than using his own managers.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Steve Ballmer is choosing aliens to do work for him rather than rely on Vole staffers.

The Journal said that this trend has increased over the past few years and is a reaction to an inward looking culture and the power of the techies, who apparently are like the tail wagging the Vole.

Several aliens hired in above existing staff include people from Wal*Mart and big paper companies.

Ballmer is the boss man, so we guess the Volesters just have to accept the unpalatable fact and mind their paws and whiskers. µ
