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.
And I bet he does less work in a day than every single one of the people who were laid off to fund his pay
Maybe they can come up with some technology that would someday take the position of CEO. Think of the savings…
Right, but the whole point of a corporation is to benefit insiders at the expense of the owners, employees, suppliers, customers, people that breath air, dolphins, platypi, etc.
It’s to benefit the owners
Nah, maybe in terms of stock price temporarily. But these layoffs are all anti value by destroying institutional knowledge, employee loyalty, etc. C suite fucks don’t know anything about their businesses and these sorts of moves always fuck owners in the end. Look at boing, GE, etc. When these Jack Welch types get into management they always fuck over the long term owners and get very rich doing it.
Then again, Im a weirdo that believes in equities having long term intrinsic value so don’t listen to me.
I’m pretty sure CEOs are supposed to be one of the most AI replaceable jobs.
Lemmy, stop upvoting this BS, you jealous basement dwellers.
Say all you want about unfair pay, but those CEOs work absolutely mad hours and the most insane schedules you can possibly imagine.
