Viral News: Amidst the recent uproar over toxic work culture, a viral post about a Microsoft employee reveals a contrasting perspective. A post by the Microsoft techie's friend, Rona Wang, has taken the internet by storm.

The post read: "Talking to my friend who works at Microsoft & he works 15-20 hr weeks & plays League the rest of the time & gets paid $300k for it."

The post garnered over a million views and sparked widespread discussion online.

How Did the Internet React? 

One user called it "Talent Hoarding": "It's called talent hoarding. Even if they are not productive, they are kept away from competitors."

Another user remarked, "That’s cool. I know a fry cook at McDonald’s who is also not working and at the bottom of the food chain."

While some were curious about the position, asking, "How can I sign up?"

A curious individual asked, "What are the requirements for this job? Are there any open positions?"

Another person commented, "Looks like Microsoft cracked the code on work-life balance. Next up: Redefining 'productivity' one game at a time!"

Finally, one person noted, "Most CEOs would love someone who gets results and hits the mark – no matter how many or few hours they work."
