Gates Doubles Endowment of Gates Foundation
with a $5 billion contribution making it, at $10 billion, the third largest behind the Lilly Endowment and Ford Foundation according to this article. After being accused of ripping off 10,000 Microsoft employees by denying them benefits through illegally classifying them as temporary workers, isn't Gates kind of Robinhood in reverse? While the Gates Foundation appears to be doing good, I think the "temporary" Microsoft employees would have preferred a choice of where to "give." Of course, Microsoft embraces and extends its clear philosophy that "no choice is the best choice," in denying those employees that option.
