# Steve Ballmer’s Last Employee Meeting

[Steve Ballmer got emotional at the last employee meeting he’d run as CEO of Microsoft. The Verge has video of it.](http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/27/4779036/exclusive-video-steve-ballmers-intense-tearful-goodbye-to-microsoft)

I’m sure you’re expecting some snarky commentary out of me – frankly, *I* was expecting some snarky commentary out of me for this one – but I got nothin’. Dude’s been the butt of a lot of jokes I’ve made over the years, but he’s got a passion and love for Microsoft that is rare to see in a CEO, and I respect the hell out of him for it. So, today, he gets a pass from me.

Even for what appears to be a brown-shoe-black-belt-navy-pants combo. I’m gonna let that slide.

Almost.
