wtf does Microsoft even use those 220,000 employees for? All of their products are crap and feel like they never get updated.

Worldwide, as of earlier this year, Microsoft categorized 67,000 or 37% of its employees in operations roles; 60,000 or 33% in product R&D; 40,000 or 22% in sales and marketing; and 14,000 or 8% in general and administrative functions.
HOW DO THEY HAVE 40,000 PEOPLE IN SALES AND MARKETING? WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
lol their entire sales pitch is just "You're already using our other products, why not use this one too?" Why do they need 40,000 people for that? 40,000 people that would have a different job in a sane world.

A lot of people pushing Azure and other enterprise products. Microsoft has an enormous amount of products.
