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.

Maybe someone can make an app, so I can have someone paid at an insultingly low hourly rate to go protest/riot in my place?

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.

Now that's creative :D But you gotta make sure one buyer = one rioter

2.49 extra for assured personal rioter. Otherwise you'll get the standard service where your rioter may have another riot to attend to first.
