Are you tired of going into controversial threads and having people not discuss things, circlejerking, or using emotional responses in place of logic? Us too.

That or take risks. That's actually one of the reasons I feel that the reward system needs to be in place, personally.
It doesn't need to be as massive or horrible as it is now (I still don't feel we need billionaires to exist), but see here for how I carry out my company while still keeping rewards intact.
That sounds like a good work environment, but how well would that work for a large company such as Microsoft?
I can scale without issue most times and have done so multiple times during acquisitions.
Once we hit a certain number of people, I'd make the Matrix org system a little more fleshed-out. Right now our projects are from 1-10 people, but it wouldn't be hard to add an org-wide Scheduler role that can wrangle interested groups for projects. It's all about putting a plan into place before you make a decision, not deciding and then trying to FORCE things to fit. With Microsoft, I imagine they'd have to implement larger teams of relevant staff on each project and divide them into overall pods with the Scheduler able to change who is needed in each pod. It's doable, but without having been anywhere near that large, I'd have to see what was implemented along the way.
Also of interest, we don't have an issue with The Peter Principle as you're never forced to move out of a position of competence or interest. You're not salary limited simply because you don't want to be a manager; in fact, there are no managers.
