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.

    Our CEO announced layoffs recently and then even more recently sent a follow up email complaining about how people were complaining about it and saying how hard it has been for the executive team. We’re a small company and I get the pain they are feeling due to financial constraints but at the end of the day we work for money and they are taking home 3-4x as much as anyone else each month while making all the decisions about how money is spent. It’s hard not to become resentful.

      Sorry to hear that, typical hierarchical power structure.

      We need more worker protections, and more workplace democracy.

      3-4x is in the fair region still. Do you think Microsoft employees make 20-30 millions each? (3-4x less than the CEO)

        No but not everyone works at these large corporations and the issues with how work works remain
