Microsoft GLEAM - It Gets Better

[@jozeenotslar]

Awesome stuff! Fantastic to see this ~ looking forward to seeing more soon. This is such a crucial message and it's great that Microsoft is encouraging employees to talk about their experiences to let kids know that it does get better. Great job!

XBOX Live Enforcement Unicorn Ninja... That has got to be the BEST job title I've -ever- heard.

[@LokeyeMC]

Yes! I couldn't be more proud of where I work.

[@abubbleoffplumb]

Thank You!

[@PaulLeary]

Excellent! Thanks for doing it!

[@excxmoody]

thanks for sharing

[@RoseBudpony1]

as long as you love your job, and yourself or life, it doesn’t matter your id!

[@blackhamster]

Good job all - very very cool.

[@joeymaloney11]

love the cloud reference at the end!

[@Rarediel]

great job guys!

[@Marathopita]

@DoctorFragnito Funny? That is, legitimately, the -best- thing I've ever heard.

[@wofra67]

2011 was a year where many big companys, police, firefighters celebretys and others did such videos, and i´m really glad they did because they set a sign to the world that it´s ok to be a part of the lgbtq+ but sadly it also stopped there. and i didnt think that the job is complete. please go on doing this good job. greetings from germany.

Love, xxx

[@psesito]

See, you can be queer AND nerd! And certainly, your adult life will get better when you're both! Kudos to Microsoft! This is a very bold statement for a giant global company to take a stand on social issues when its customer base encompasses people from all ranges of age/income/religion/cultural backgrounds/political believes. Little late, but there will be never enough positive stories to share :)

[@excxmoody]

so...wheres mr or ms if you 'choose' to apply for it...

[@Sunnysuzuki]

@spmcnamee Thanks! Im sorry, this part is not clear to me. So r they both gay or both dating each other or is one simply supportive of the other? Also, do they both work for Microsoft?

[@Sunnysuzuki]

hey, are the 2 guys at 2:40 brothers?

[@BugsBunny_xD]

Well, that explains alot about Microsoft.

[@o12jordan]

MotherFu****er!!

[@Hppyhppy2]

ya microsoft and apple have these videos, but linux.. not a single video

[@spmcnamee]

@Sunnysuzuki - Yes, twins.

[@DoctorFragnito]

and the funny thing is, that wasn't a joke that actually is his job title.

[@stormrage2007]

@IMAGIMATIONanimation In fact, you started all this, by taking my joke (microsoft gays>apple gays) seriously, and getting really offended by it. I may have nothing better to do than write youtube comments, but it's a very tedious task for me and I have little to no pleasure from replying to your replies to my comments to the nth degree. So, I, being an incredibly generous and pleasant interlocutor, give you the honor to have the last say, if you want, of course.

[@DeepKittenThoughts]

:DDDD Beginning of video made me laught...

[@Aiken_Drum]

@deanseawa Every organization inevitably has some bad apples, even one that tries not to. Sometimes you can't tell until it's too late. It sucks that your manager did that, no question, and you bore no responsibility for it. However, nervous or not, you should have talked to HR. As it is, you only left a paper trail, in a private place, and now that manager remains to menace others. That, I'm afraid, is your responsibility. You can still go back and file a complaint, you know.

[@deanseawa]

@cryptographite - What would have been the point in asking GLEAM for help when I was afraid to even talk with my HR rep. I'd been fired from a job in 1998 literally within a couple days of them finding out I was gay. I had little reason from my 5 years with Microsoft by then that the HR rep wouldn't file for my termination right there in the office. I would love to know that I was wrong, but even after 10 years at MS I saw little to give me confidence in any of my management team.

[@theformerlife]

Now give us your money!

[@ticktickticking]

I'm so confused. Didn't microsoft ban a few people from xbox live for admitting that they were gay?

[@mistajammin]

This comment made me laugh. Mostly because of the last part.

[@deanseawa]

Back in 2004, when my boss at Microsoft found out I was gay, he tried to get me fired. Fortunately my boss’s boss found out when I gave him a scathing evaluation in response to his mid-year review and tried to hush it all up; not speaking with me at all about the incident. From that point onward, I've not trusted Microsoft to care in the slightest about gay employees, only their bottom line. Fortunately I am now no longer with Microsoft and plan never to return to that hypocritical environment.

[@MaitredeDieu]

3:20 that's gross

[@IMAGIMATIONanimation]

@stormrage2007 Thank you for the opportunity, but let me tell you something. Especially on the internet, it is hard to tell if someone is telling a light-hearted joke, and given that people use the language you have used to discriminate against homosexuals, most normal people take your comments as attacks, and as offenses. You need to learn to watch your language, because not everyone interprets things the same way you do.

[@thisisUll]

Right, now wheres my money back for that heap of crap called Vista?

[@dudelar]

So, I happened upon the Microsoft 'It gets Better' video and I am terribly disapointed that there was so much marketing and blatant promotion of Microsoft. Its not about Microsoft people, its about the Trevor Project... This company continues to lose my support

[@LauraSeabrook]

A good effort, though there does seem to be a lack of Transgender employees represented.

[@stormrage2007]

Microsoft Gays>Apple Gays

[@GamersGuild1337]

that explains windows vista
