This is how Steve Ballmer spent his last days at Microsoft
Before Steve Ballmer left Microsoft after 34 years of working at the company, including 14 years as a CEO, he turned to some entertaining activities that included binge-watching TV shows on Netflix.
The former CEO confessed he binge-watched TV show ”The Good Wife” in his last three weeks at the company, as he was waiting for his successor to be named. “I binged in this show ‘The Good Wife.’ I watched 100 episodes of ‘The Good Wife’ in three weeks. That was actually before I retired. I had everything planned out so that we were going to announce my successor before Christmas. And then the board decided not to. They hadn’t made a final call. Can you start a new project when you think you hve two weeks left or three weeks left? So I said, now what do I do?,” he declared.
Satya Nadella was announced as the new CEO at Microsoft in early February, so it is only understandable that Ballmer wanted to find ways of spending his free time.

Moreover, once Ballmer actually left the company, he became a golf fanatic and spent nearly every minute of his free time playing.
