Replying to Microsoft's Memo To It's Indian Staff - Hilarious

After reading it, than reading the translations, I bursted out into laughter

Sounds a little racist to indians now lol. Its quite funny. I don't think the indians will really even do those things in the first place. Microsoft's been outta their mind .

When I read it and then read the translations, it got even funnier.

This gets funnier everytime I read it!

HA HA HA LOL!

Thats too much! Is Microsoft mad?

I heard this from some other source too. I think this is true that microsoft asked indians to use sober words and not use bad words but I dont know whether the letter mentioned here is authentic.

yehuu

That was pretty funny, I haven't read all the replys but:

Things like this are actually happening increasingly of late in a lot of different situations.

For one, workers here are getting sick of migratns using their language of choice to blow them off right infront of them and also consumers where workers who have migrated here are doing the same towards them.

I guess that's why John Howard is starting to crack down heh heh.

Wow. Wow. Wow. That's just...scary. It's hard to imagine a Microsoft employee acting so unprofessional...I would've expected just a slight amount of subtleness from them. But isn't it also likely that the employee didn't really understand the implications behind those words? I mean, sure, he knew they were swear words and everything, but unless he spoke the language, he wouldn't feel the fervor behind the words.

If he doesn't feel the fervor behind the words, he won't really associate them with "bad" in his mind, and thus he will feel that it's not such a big deal to use them in a letter. On another note, I also believe it's faked. If this Microsoft employee knew that these were swear words, it would really stupid of him to use them in a letter to people who are most familiar with the words. >_<

Well, some workplaces (and I may be understating this) have a considerable degree of language as described. Fortunately, I've come across some Greek guys who's completely revamped my language and now, when in India, i use Greek to swear and when outside - it's a combination of a whole bunch of languages (never sure who knows what right..!!)

After getting others' feedback from this, I am thoroughly convinced.

This is fabricated.

Obviously, some programmer/admin/geek of South Asian descent thought it would be funny to have a little poke at MS...

But I can't believe that such a high profile official of an ultra-high profile company would issue such an explicit (and hilarious) memo to his employees. Maybe on a joking basis... but it's still hard to believe.

Hey m^e, where did you find this? Maybe that will give us a clue...
