GGP didn't say they worked at Microsoft, the comment is a bit hard to parse, but they wrote "I left the company I worked at".

Scant on details, sure, but hard to parse, not really.

The problem is folks this thread seemingly taking a interlocutory approach that can be summarized as, "That which is not explicitly denied can be freely assumed to be true."
