But you might have missed the ‘Mikerosoftcalypse’ that took place internally in the company earlier this week.
Woke up to a larger than usual number of unread emails.
Did I sleep through a major live site incident?Nope.
Someone accidentally(?)
added every Mike/Michael at Microsoft to a discussion alias.
This would’ve been the most ‘obvious’ and plausible explanation in this case.
However, this wasn’t the case.
Someone in the company mistakenly/accidentally added every Mike/Michael at Microsoft to a discussion alias (viaThe Verge).
Michael Schechter leveragedCopilot AI to summarizethe thoughts, laughs, and concerns shared in the discussion.
A short while after the group was created, it was discovered that everyone was called Michael or Mike.
Copilot also noted the group’s purpose was unclear, but the participants used the rare opportunity to connect.
Some expressed concern over the group, indicating it might be a ‘trap.’
History sure does have a funny way of repeating itself!
