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?

            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.

          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.
