VR Zone wrotes the approval rating of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer at Glassdoor.com shot up to 52 percent in 2012, significnatly more than 2011's approval rating of 35 percent.
Even though Ballmer may be ranked as the second worst CEO of 2012 by CNBC, you have to give him credit for being willing to take on the riskiest bet the company has ever taken. It is a bet that appears to have helped changed some company employees' feelings about their leader.

According to Glassdoor the company's employees approval for Ballmer has gone up in 2012 to 52% from the previous year's 35% approval. Unfortunately, his approval rating has dropped to 48% this month.
