Head of Xbox Phil Spencer seems like one of the best bosses you could possibly hope to work for, and he recently took some time out of his busy schedule to record a birthday message for Xbox UK employee, Charleyy Hodson.
As you can see in the video below, Spencer acknowledges the Social Media Manager and Events Lead as an "incredibly special" part of the team, stating that she brings "so much to what Xbox is about". Here's the full message:
This is also our first chance to see Phil Spencer's home office in a little while, and the background has seen a few additions — the most glaringly obvious being a new Alan Wake part of the display. Let the speculation commence...
That's not what's important here though — the focus of the video is on Charleyy's fantastic work at Xbox UK, and it's great to see Phil Spencer acknowledging the importance of his team in such a personal and appreciative way.
What do you make of this? Let us know down in the comments section below.

Now will he do this for all the other important people at xbox?
@UltimateOtaku91 I wouldn't be surprised if he does it fairly often and we just don't get to hear about it.
@FraserG you would think so otherwise there's going to be some jealous and unappreciated workers lol
She did really good work on the Forza Play series leading up to Horizons 5. She has so much enthusiasm for her job and that's a perfect match.
They need get smoking hot community manager chick for Japan to help break into that market more. I'd LOVE see that. For variety reasons.
@UltimateOtaku91 Oh yeah did you not know that one of the main work duties of the CEO of the Xbox division of Microsoft is to give a personal message to every employee of Xbox. One of the main reasons why Xbox has not acquired any other companies this year after Bethesda is mainly because the addition of all of the new Bethesda employees and having to send them all each Birthday messages.
But Phil is starting to get used to his birthday wish work load so I would expect a new acquisition for Xbox and Phil's B Day messages in 2022 for sure.
@GuyinPA75 LoL dude no one needs to know that you have a kink for Asian chics. Your comment about Xbox getting a hot girl community manager that is vocal with the Xbox community, is actually a great idea. They need a real person instead of the fake Martha GamePass(I know thats not the name I just cant remember what it is at the moment) personality thing they use on Twitter to communicate Game Pass updates and stuff. A person that we can relate to would definitely be a better than a fake persona.
Phil Spencer is one in a million, he reminds me of Richard Branson of Virgin Airlines, same type of boss. Everyone wants to work for people like them, cause they have found the proper balance between work ethics and staff relationships.
@GuyinPA75 Nah u can have Japanese girls for Playstation which is Japanese too lol.
That’s amazing, THE boss of your sector wishing you personally a happy birthday, that never happens normally. Such generosity shown by Phil, but as the Xbox documentary showed he said he had no training or experience to take this role, but I think that’s a great thing as he could start with a clean slate on how to approach the job, and he’s sending happy birthday wishes as a result.
Mind you I randomly got a free £8 credit from Xbox as a gift last year, not for Christmas just randomly, they are being very generous in their approach to gaming and how a giant corporation should approach the market. Very happy to be a member of Team Xbox
@Jomi1964 Richard Branson is the complete opposite of Spencer, I know people who have worked for Virgin and he’s not the nicest person in the world. He’s a slave driver too and fully expects you to put work above everything else in your life no matter what.
I think those people were lazy, that's all, hence they falsely accuse him of being a slave driver wow. Most people wants to work for him, he offers almost a year paternity and maternity leave to start with and the working conditions is like none other of any company in the world. So those people u know r the rotten apples in the company who don't want to work, cause the majority absolutely loves working for the man!!!!
