史蒂夫•鲍尔默即将离职

今年八月，史蒂夫•鲍尔默称他将在12个月内卸任微软CEO一职。今年早些时候，他对《华尔街日报》（the Wall Street Journal ）表示：“到头来，我们需要打破一种模式。让我们面对现实吧：我就是一个模式。”发表了这个声明之后，鲍尔默开始进行巡回视察，写了热情扬溢的最后一封致股东的信。他在公司的一次会议上进行告别演讲时不仅动情落泪，还随着麦克尔•杰克逊的歌曲Wanna be Startin' Somethin跳了一支舞。

Steve Ballmer says he's stepping down

In August, Steve Ballmer declared he would step down as Microsoft's (MSFT, Fortune 500) CEO within 12 months. "At the end of the day, we need to break a pattern. Face it: I'm a pattern," he told the Wall Street Journal earlier this year. Since the announcement, Ballmer has been on a farewell tour of sorts, authoring a last, passionate shareholders' letter, even breaking down in tears and dancing to the Michael Jackson track, "Wanna be Startin' Somethin,'" as he delivered a farewell speech at a company meeting.
