Just imagine, for a moment, having your salary even being a million dollars a year. Even with a mortgage and kids, that would be a fuckload of money. 95 times that is insane. Even after buying multiple supercars, a mansion, and a fancy boat, you’d still have more money than you could possibly use, ever. And that’s just one year of pay.
God, even if you invested part of a million a year, you’d be fantastically wealthy.
We should support wealth taxes. We should be screaming about them to politicians and anybody who will listen non-stop. So what if he earns 96M? If they were taxed adequately, it wouldn’t matter, but it isn’t. He’s going to buy a bunch of assets that won’t be taxed at all and hoard it to make more: that is the bigger problem.
Tax his wealth so that taxing his income won’t matter. That will wipe that grin off his face.
I like how this fuckwad claimed the layoffs were weighing him down or whatever a few months ago. Apparently he was being weighed down by the boost to his pay.
Achieved double digit revenue growth (15% year-over-year), affirming our success at developing products and services our customers value.
I’m sorry, why do you need to lay off so many workers with this sort of revenue growth? Tech companies have really been masks off with how little they care for their employees recently.
How does one seize one’s self when one is the means of production?
Hmm.
$6400 per layoff.
What a petty “haul” for completely fucking someone’s life up. We should express things in “$ per harm” more often if we can.
Just yet more evidence, these folks are monsters.
"You get ejected into a bad and worsening job market with no warning or recourse, throwing your (and your family’s?) life into a suddenly scary future.
In return, I get a used car, shitty enough it can’t pass emissions tests. I like this deal so much I want to do it thousands of times!"
What a coïncidence that those numbers align like this!

“Job-creator” is a farce. They’re profit seekers, creating jobs is a side effect that they want to minimize
They don’t mind the jobs, they mind the compensation for said jobs.
Where else would the money come from
Let’s start hunting these people.
Time to bring guillotines back into style.
Send me a gun and the address of a prominent one in the UK and I’ll see what I can arrange.
just like any ceo, always happy to take a bonus but never happy to use the bonus to reduce laypffs… typical rat
Eh, Microsoft actually has enough money in the bank to prevent layoffs. They’re doing them on purpose to raise the stock price.
In 2015, for example, he took home about $18 million, a small sum compared to 2025’s $96.5 million.
the company pushed its overall 2025 revenue to $281.7 billion
Microsoft has around 230 000 employees.
That means that 1 Microsoft employee in 2025 earned for company roughly $1 280 454
That is how monopoly looks like.
Microsoft would be better up split into multiple companies. They’re killing windows with lack of innovation. They’re also putting Xbox slowly out of business. They have no phone on the market and they barely have a tablet with the surface line. They also stopped making peripherals.
I think the current CEO is just trying to make Microsoft into the next lumbering IBM.

source: https://bullfincher.io/companies/microsoft-corporation/revenue-by-segmentAll the more reason to spin off their consumer products divisions rather than killing them.
Also it’s so gross that they own LinkedIn and GitHub now.
they’re not killing them, they’re monopolizing what they have by adding mandatory cloud like apple and google so you have no way to switch back, sure they will lose customers but those who will stay won’t leave anymore

Windows needed to die a long time ago… so whatever. Same with XBOX and their phone, just a waste of time. Microsoft never made a product worth owning.
But the days of Gates saying to every department “how does this sell more windows” are long gone.
Many years ago a Microsoft team told me that the only thing important was data. The more the better. Windows wasn’t important, products were not important. Harvesting data and creating services was the future and nothing else mattered.
Android and iOS have made companies fortunes. But keep telling yourself Windows Phone needed to die.
Same with game consoles. Switch I & II have made Nintendo a ton of money.
These Microsoft products would have been profitable in the hands of a company that actually cared about them.
Yeah but they were microsoft. So they sucked. That’s how it works. Maybe in the hands of someone else it wouldn’t have been Microsoft crap.
Replace him with AI.
$96.5 million for Nadella. Microsoft’s CEO receives record pay
in a yearthat saw 15,000+ layoffsBECAUSE of a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs
He does a difficult job of spouting the most vacuous bullshit possible while other people rake in the money for him.
