Satya's union of 1 knows how to negotiate apparently.
It’d be cool to never be held accountable for bad business moves, but we also know that layoffs are celebrated by Wall Street for cutting costs.
On the one hand, Nadella has, in my opinion, saved Microsoft. They were on a downward spiral right before he took over. On the other hand, nothing justifies a $79.1MM salary. That is grotesque.
I wonder if you will still feel this way after he kills the Xbox console.

Each day I become closer moving my setup away from windows entirely. I installed Ubuntu alongside windows but now I'm thinking I want a different distro and need to repartition I guess.
Can't he get the extremely terrible way of grabbing focus and changing z-order fixed? That would be great..
Sorry, that would mean prioritizing something that doesn't directly increase executive pay in the short term.
Curious about this - you mean in Windows? What's the solution as you see it?
Every single application or popup window will always attempt to get the highest z-order and switch keyboard input focus from wherever you were working to this window.
More than once, this resulted in input into the wrong window, causing problems.
And running this piece of junk os in a triple monitor setup; why do new windows (mainly outlook related) open on a different monitor ? If my input is on monitor 2, why are new windows opened on monitor 1 or 2?
A straight forward install of a recent Ubuntu version is much friendly for the user. But, as stated by someone else, improving the product is not gaining any cash flow.
It's been a little while since I used a KDE or Gnome desktop in anger; I can't remember how they tackle issues where user attention is needed on an inactive app. What do you figure the best solution is? Make the taskbar/dock icon visually distinct (flashing, jumping, a badge, or similar) but don't permit focus switch?
Blink the window-title and in case something like a taskbar is used, use the application icon to get attention.
But don't act like you are the most important and single application on the system. Be modest.
Interesting... So according to this ign most of that was awarded in stock. It kind of solidifies the comments about making money for the share holders by cutting costs. Was gonna say would be nice for us peasants to be awarded in stock but then I would feel like crap if I'd get ton of money while others lost their job.
Come on guys, you can't expect them to take care of their CEO and their employees.
Wow, the price of a soul went up 63%.
Yeah but those layoffs saved a LOT of money! /s
Yeah but I bet he met a KPI
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!
CEO (and really the whole executive committee and board of directors) is beholden to the shareholders, not the employees. Employees are not only an expense, but the largest expense a company has.
Employees should buy up all the stock.
Unfortunately, they would only be able to buy stock that is for sale.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
