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.

      That dystopian “future”. It’s the present, isn’t it.

        I’m seriously considering rent-a-family. My relatives can occassionally be ‘unprofessional’ and I see that for a small fee I dont have to put up with that sort of bullshit anymore.
