あらすじ・解説
They both went to this job interview to hone their skills, and got a dream job at Microsoft! In its fast-growing and AI-pioneered Azure division and with a romance on top of it… 💕 Yet several years later, Holly and Will Alpine decided to both resign. Why? On sustainability ground, and more specifically for the lack of support on the “enabled emissions” issues. 🕵️ Holly and Will are now the Bonnie & Clyde of Azure and they provide us with an insider perspective, in a nuanced and well-documented way, on this “elephant in the room” in all big tech companies: are their sustainability claims offset by the so-called enabled emissions? 🐘 In this first part of this 2-part episode, Holly and Will shared great insights with Gaël Duez on: 🌱 Microsoft’s employee grassroots sustainability initiative which gathers now more than ten thousands people ⚖️ The opportunity cost for most middle management to support sustainability initiatives 🛠️ The difference between attributional and consequential methodologies and why it impacts the adoption of SCI enabled tools 💰 Can investing millions in local community support justify the increasing data center expansion?
