Microsoft Cloud Veteran Official Quits After Reports Of Verbal Abuse To Staff

Microsoft Corp MSFT cloud VP Tom Keane's LinkedIn post disclosed his departure from the tech giant after 21 years.
Keane's LinkedIn post read, "taking the next step in my career to build on the world's computer."
The departure follows a report accusing Keane of verbally abusing staff, Bloomberg reports.
Keane reportedly made an employee cry in a public meeting earning the nickname "King Tom" behind his back.
Keane spent nine years overseeing infrastructure for Microsoft's Azure cloud, working on projects like data center expansion and security.
More recently, he supervised technology to help migrate Microsoft's cloud-computing business into newer areas like 5G and space.
Lately, reports surfaced suggesting global Microsoft Azure data centers operated with limited server capacity amid a global supply shortage.
The server capacity at over half a dozen Azure data centers will likely remain limited until early 2023.
Microsoft's struggle to fill its data centers with hardware follows a surge in cloud demand at the outset of the pandemic.
Microsoft shocked investors recently by cutting its Q4 and FY23 guidance, citing unfavorable currency headwinds.
Price Action: MSFT shares traded lower by 0.28% at $266.95 in the premarket on the last check Thursday.
