[分享]微软大中华区CEO陈永正的辞职信

迷途的小猪

微软大中华区CEO要辞职了。这个消息震惊了IT业。我和陈永正先生打过很多次交道，对他的印象特别好！他还专门为我写了去美国的担保信。在这里，我把他的辞职信登载出来，供大家学习。

我想同大家分享一下关于我本人未来计划的一项艰难决定。今天晚些时候，我将宣布从微软公司离任，转入一个全新的领域工作。想到即将告别这份不可思议的工作，离开四年来我有幸在微软遇到的诸位杰出的同事，我心情颇为沉重。

I want to share with you some difficult news about my future plans. Later today, I will announce that I have resigned from Microsoft and will be taking a position in a different filed. It is not without a heavy heart that I contemplate leaving the incredible work and extraordinary people that I have been privileged to encounter during my four years at Microsoft.
我们共同完成了很多人认为无法完成的工作。在短短的几年里，我们确定了推进微软中华区业务发展的清晰而稳固的战略框架。我们的销售增长了几乎一倍，大中华区的销售收入突破了10亿美元。过去的三年里，在中国大陆，我们将销售(含coverec OEMs)业绩提高了两倍，并为2008财年实现10亿美元的目标做好了准备。我们将未经授权的电脑使用率(CPU)降低了20多了百分点；新雇用了几百名员工；将业务运营扩展到了中国大陆、香港、台湾15个以上的城市。我们还加强了同客户和合作伙伴的关系，不仅在本地区乃至全球改变了人们看待微软的方式。
Together, we have accomplished what some might have thought could not be done. In a few short years, we have defined a clear and stable strategic framework for Microsoft’s business in the Greater China region. We have nearly doubled sales and have broken through the $1 billion mark in revenue in GCR. In China itself, we have tripled our sales in the last three years. Including those of covered OEMs, and we are posed to hit $ 1 billion in FY08. we have reduced the UPC rate by more than 20%. We have added hundreds of new people and expanded our operations to more than 15 locations across the region. We have strengthened our customer and partner relationships and transformed the way people view Microsoft, not just locally but all around the globe as well.

最重要的是，我们运用我们的技术帮助中国大陆、香港、台湾许许多多的人改善他们的生活和生计。一路走来。从你们每个人身上，我学到了很多；你们使我无法忘记我在微软经历。
Most importantly, we’ve been able to use our technology to help improve the lives and livelihood of millions of people throughout the Greater China region. I have learned from each of you along the way and you have made my experience at Microsoft one that I will never forget.
诚然，变化总会伴随着一些不确定。但是，有一点我坚信不疑，那就是，公司有能力延续我们已经开始了的成功，我们已经制定了经过仔细斟酌的交接计划，并出世界最好的领导团队来完成。我对目前的管理团队及其战略充满信心，毕竟Big Rocks计划已经就为。毫无疑问，在不久的将来，微软大中华区谈论不再是10亿美元的突破，而是50亿美元新纪录的创造。
While change always comes with its share of unknowns, there is one thing that I have absolutely no question about, and that is this organization’s ability to continue the great work that we’ve begun. We have a well-thought our transltion plan in place and some of the finest leadership in the team and in our strategy with the Big Rocks plan in place. I have no doubt that in the very near future, Microsoft Greater China region will no longer be talking about breaking through the $1 billion but about the $5 billion mark. J
今天下午四点，我们将在现代汽车大厦召开全体员工大会介绍我的计划和详细的工作交接方案。最后，我想对微软大中华区的每一位员工表达我深深的谢意，感谢你们的辛勤工作，感谢你们为我们的成功所做的贡献。(来源：发掘网)
At 4 PM today, we will have an all-hands meeting in the Millennium Building to discuss my plans and the transition in more detail. In the meantime, I’d like to express my deep thanks to every one of you in the Microsoft Greater China region for your hard work and for your contribution to our continued success.
