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.

We can't even get people to go outside and meet live humans for sex anymore, everyone has switched to online apps for dating. People order food and groceries because we learned from Covid we don't need to actually interact with other people.
Does anyone actually expect us to mobilize and topple powerful financial institutions? We have the most comfortable society on Earth in the US. Despite how miserable everyone is, nobody wants to leave their soft chairs and giant computer monitors and immersive video games and discord chat channels where you can mute and block anyone you don't like. The only thing that could possibly change our course at this point would be some transhumanist/singularity nonsense like artificial general intelligence being developed and wrecking the economy.
But that's tech being developed and controlled by the wealthy elite, so my hopes faded long ago.
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?
already done.

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.
Everything is going exactly to plan. You're welcome.
Sorry, the first sentence in your reply is wrong. I've literally spent the last two weekends going out and meeting people. If you don't go outside, that's on you.
Wow, I'm amazing you found this comment I made specifically about you. I've been following you around for weeks trying to find ONE place where you wouldn't see the lies and slander I've been trying to spread about you specifically. Curses, one day I will manage to find a place to tell lies about you where you will never find it.
