Pub Pulled

Microsoft was in works with opening a bar named Spitfire that was going to be located at their Redmond campus. However, the day before the opening Microsoft decided to pull the idea of the bar and did not allow it to open. Microsoft spokesman Lou Gellos stated, "The goal was always to create a cool gathering place for employees, but to do so in a manner that's consistent with a business environment. We took a second look at that, and we were sensitive to the business environment. We decided we should do something more appropriate, and that meant not having a pub." Despite the fact that their intentions were to create a fun atmosphere, it seems a little weird that they were considering having a pub at all in the facility. That does not really add any amount of professionalism to the place and seems as if it would do nothing but harm and not good. So, I think that pulling the pub from the campus was a good decision, but the fact that they were finished the pub and ready to open shows their lack of consideration to the people involved in the operation. They should have thought long and hard before deciding on a project that would be completed only to deny them the opportunity to open their doors. It is a mere waste of time and money and does not represent Microsoft in a very good light when it comes to doing business with them in my opinion.
