Microsoft boss Satya Nadella will earn a wallet-busting $79.1m (£60.9m) this financial year, up 63 percent on his compensation for 2023.
The huge boost to Nadella’s pay in both cash and stock, announced by Microsoft last night, comes after a positive year overall for the company’s financial revenues - but a turbulent 12 months for its employees.
2024 has seen two mass layoffs at Microsoft, with 1900 staff laid off in January, before a further 650 Xbox employees were shown the door in September.
With all the suffering that they’ve been inflicting upon Windows serfs, he’s more than earned it. If it were up to me, I’d up his pay tenfold. I can’t wait to see what MS has in store for the tech cattle in 2025!
