BILL SCREAMS AT EVERYONE
Not long after Gates founded Microsoft with his friend Paul Allen, he was described by some employees as a "bully". Four women who worked with Gates at Microsoft told Insider that he was rude and short-tempered."Having a meeting with Bill was just an opportunity to get yelled at, so I tried to avoid that," - a former Microsoft executive shared anonymously.
Gates is known for swearing and berating his subordinates. "That's the stupidest fucking idea I've ever heard" became the CEO's catchphrase. He also keeps track of employees by memorizing their license plates.
Gates also tried to "dilute" cofounder Paul Allen's equity because he was "unproductive" while dealing with his cancer, Allen wrote in his memoirs.
In contrast, another unnamed former Microsoft executive also said, Gates is a straightforward and honest person. She says his management style can make some employees feel threatened, but she appreciates Gates' enthusiasm. “Bill yelled at everyone the same,” she said.
Another unnamed former executive - who has had several private meetings with Gates - thinks he has a bit of an odd way of communicating. "He didn't know how to joke or connect with other people."
“If he says he likes your hair, he's not trying to flirt with you. It's just that he really likes your hair."
Meanwhile, a current employee at Microsoft shared that: "He's just an awkward human being as far as social interactions go.".

But not everyone understands that, especially when it comes to what some say Gates is "insensitive to women's issues in the workplace".Klawe, a Microsoft board member from 2009 to 2015, judged that Gates behaved as if he were the "smartest person in the room" and was uninterested in proposals to improve diversity in the workplace in succession planning often comes from female board members.
That's not what Gates "was interested in hearing about," Klawe said, adding that he would respond to suggestions with statements like, "Are you trying to effing destroy the company?" The message here is that "'Caring about diversity has nothing to do with the success of Microsoft."
In response to these allegations, a spokesperson for Gates called it a "gross mischaracterization to suggest that Mr. Gates lacked interest in speaking about or promoting diversity and inclusion at Microsoft."
ONCE A NOTORIOUS WOMANIZER
Business Insider also revealed another hidden corner of Bill Gates' private life, saying that during the early days of Microsoft in the late 80s and early 90s, Bill Gates was inclined to be a party person.Source: The Smoking Gun
According to James Wallace, who has written two biographies about Bill Gates, on a rare occasion, in the evening when he did not have to work 17 hours as usual, Gates invited his friends and dancers from local nightclub to come and swim naked at his lakeview Washington mansion.“Gates himself rounded up the girls and brought them over there. I don't know if he physically transported them or if he just told them where to show up." Wallace wrote.
In addition, Gates is a frequent participant in "special parties" after major computer exhibition trade conferences such as Comdex and Demo. Robert X Cringley, who wrote a popular computer gossip column for Infoworld, said: “Bill drank, and he got drunk pretty easily. We've all seen him drunk."
MEDIA CONTROL
The communication team for Microsoft has made great efforts and succeeded in protecting the personal life of the billionaire, journalists and Microsoft insiders said."Microsoft was spoon-feeding some of the well-known journalists who covered Microsoft really good stories, and in an exchange they were keeping some of these trashy stories in their notebooks," Wallace said. "There were some big-name journalists who knew about this behavior, and they never reported on it because they knew Microsoft would have taken away their access."
One former executive added that Microsoft's PR team was "very controlling of the message" and "overly worried about perception."

According to Wallace, Gates stayed close to the press, so much so that he gained a reputation for hitting on female reporters who covered industry conferences such as Comdex. Wallace said. "The journalists said that it was their understanding that they weren't the only ones either," he added.The relationship between Microsoft and Ziff Davis, one of the major tech magazine publishers of the time, came into question publicly in 1992 when columnist Will Zachmann published an article critical of Gates and his job contract wasn't renewed.
But once Melinda divorced Gates "the halo broke," a Microsoft employee told Insider. "Anyone who had stories could bring all those stories out."
