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.

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.
