This! 
Stroustrup K&R is what I learned, and seems more logical to me (and easier on my eyes). Brackets separate a block of code that is performed as part of a command, so to my mind the opening bracket belongs on the same line as the command.
if (true) {
DoThis();
}
VB adopts K&R in its own way. Note the keywords and closing keywords:
If True Then
DoThis()
End If
But now I've probably hurt my case. 
(edited to clarify the Stroustrup version of K&R)

I'm weird. for me it depends on the language, because I let my style be dictated by the larger community choice. I suppose that means I'm either indecisive, or I don't really care one way or the other.
C/C++/C# - Style 1, and I can't abide code written in style 2.
Javascript - Style 2. To the point that if I see javascript written in Style 1, I don't even recognize it as valid javascript.
Java? By the time I've reached my first curly, I've already written too much Java, so I just delete the project and start over in a better language.

Interesting, since I don't recognize javascript as a valid language.
(My "favorite" part about Python: scratching your head why something is failing only to realize that one line is indented using spaces and the next tabs.)

Yeah, I really wish there was a way to turn off ASI in my js files (like a 'use strict' kind of thing).

I think on the one of the Microsoft Guide lines for Capitalisation they call it PascalCasing instead of CamelCasing and then use camelCase also.

Yes you are an old fart, who cares what other people source looks like...
Using a decent editor (even the Visual Studio editor does this):
just go to the last close curly
delete it, then put it back
(or just highlight it and type close curly)
the code gets reformatted to your default style set in your editor.
a lot simpler then posting messages complaining and insisting 'your way is better for everybody'
I can tell you, without even seeing it: your way is crap, that is it's crap to everybody except yourself, just as mine is crap for anybody but me. And yes, your company guidelines are crap too, to anyone except the pillock who created the 'guidelines'; AKA 'somebody with way too much free time' - and you should tell him that - do some bloody real/proper work instead of wasting time making other peoples lives miserable.
Help make the world a better place: Stop bitching about other peoples ways, particularly when there's simple tools that in seconds let you 'fix it' and carry on your own way - these things matter not at all.
And for sure, one day, when you get promoted: just DON'T become that jerk-off that creates "company coding standards" and other such nonsense; leave it, get a life, and let other people have theirs too.

To be sure, I can't read Melody's style at all.
I associate that code style with idiots who just keep jamming random code in until something happens ...

For me K&R. CamelCase when public members, camelCase when private.

My 2¢: I was a devotee of K&R braces (the second style) for a long time. When I started programming in C#, I switched to Allman[^] braces (the first style).
I've grown to prefer Allman to an extent such that I've written a VS editor macro to reformat K&R braces to Allman. I don't use the built-in VS reformatting; they screw up too many other things.

The boss should be thanking Melody for fixing his brackets. I hope she replaced his spaces with tabs, while she was in there.

One of the good things about Visual Studio is that if one of my colleagues have been making changes to the product I am responsible for, and ignored the bracing / indentation rules, I just delete and reinsert the final closing brace of the file, and everyting is back to the 'proper' style. Oh well, the end-of-line-comments may not be properly lined up, in the parts that were changed, but that's not a terribly big problem (besides, most programmers use end-of-line comments very sparingly).
("My" product is a C# thing. I have noticed that VS is not as good with C++ as it is with C#, and I don't know if this works the same way in C++.)

Or just type CTRL+K then D - it'll reformat it without an edit being needed.
