You're saying he deserves more?!
Well Windows wasn't an important Microsoft product for like 15 years now. It's been like 7 years when Microsoft is a company mostly selling cloud Linux services. Ridiculous I know, but that's from their yearly financial reports. It seems their plan is to cash out Windows as fast as possible before dropping it.
An old friend was one of the people who got laid off in January. Fuck MSFT.
Well, yeah. How do you think they could afford Nadella's pay raise?
I would like to propose some changes to that title:
Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, ~~despite~~ [because of] devastating year for layoffs: 2550 ~~jobs lost~~ [employees were fired by their greedy CEO] in 2024 [because he wanted more money]
“Look timmy, it’s a man made entirely of bullshit”
Go Copilot!
fuck him not just for making those people's lives miserable, but for stamping down the fucking wages of everyone else in tech by flooding the fucking market
I just want one outlet to break the shit cycle and report it for what it is : CEO got big pay rises thanks to savings made by eliminating jobs.
That is simply the neutral truth.
It’s not some freakish occurance, not some overtime golden goal shit, this is how it works. It’s the norm.
his payrise is equivalent to something like 3000 US workers minimum wage annual salaries
if my math is correct (which it probably isn't)
Yup, that checks out for me.
That said, that's the federal minimum wage, which almost nobody actually gets (article says $1M people).
One million dollar-people?
Thinking of all the cool products this CEO has killed off. I would love to see this company split up so that maybe they could innovate again.
Let's start exercising that 2nd amendment y'all!
