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.

Yeah but I bet he met a KPI
Because of the devastating year for layoffs.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
Came here to say exactly this.
And I bet he does less work in a day than every single one of the people who were laid off to fund his pay
Maybe they can come up with some technology that would someday take the position of CEO. Think of the savings...
Right, but the whole point of a corporation is to benefit insiders at the expense of the owners, employees, suppliers, customers, people that breath air, dolphins, platypi, etc.
I'm pretty sure CEOs are supposed to be one of the most AI replaceable jobs.
Every time a big company lays people off I always try to remember that it's not because they aren't making enough money as a company. It's because the "important" people want more money.
He get this pay becuase he laysoff people.
Executive compensation is structured around this.
He wouldnt bother withnthe layoffs if his comp didnt improve...

"Despite"
...because of layoffs
Yeah they want to make it clear that they laid off people and he should not get rewarded for it, however I think we all read 'thanks to the layoffs he could increase his pay'
Absolutely insane. I literally cannot fathom accepting that much money when there are so many other people who need it more.
That's because you're not a piece of shit. Most major companies CEOs are pieces of shit
Employees are a companies biggest expanse. Thats why they want to get rid of them as much as possible. Why are people really thinking that AI will free up new jobs? There is a finite amount of things only humans can do more "effeciently"(not sure if thats the right word, forgive my german) or better, and it is only getting smaller.
Wow! He must be not just hundreds but many thousands of times more productive than an average employee! Incredible! Well deserved.
Wow such work, much deserve
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.
They still are, they might have started to pull up, by they're still squarely on a collision course with the ground. When this AI bubble pops, thier Boeing provided auto-pilot will crater them into the ground.
Sorry, this metaphor got away from me.

Can't he get the extremely terrible way of grabbing focus and changing z-order fixed? That would be great..
Curious about this - you mean in Windows? What's the solution as you see it?

Sorry, that would mean prioritizing something that doesn't directly increase executive pay in the short term.
Wow, the price of a soul went up 63%.
Come on guys, you can't expect them to take care of their CEO and their employees.
Yeah but those layoffs saved a LOT of money! /s
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.
