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

Because of the devastating year for layoffs.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

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.

Eat. The. Rich.

Absolutely insane. I literally cannot fathom accepting that much money when there are so many other people who need it more.

Wow! He must be not just hundreds but many thousands of times more productive than an average employee! Incredible! Well deserved.

Remember, he's the real victim here, he had to sign off on all those layoffs, he's going to have to live with that decision...

...in one of his multiple mansions.

He gets paid that much because he's one of the few people on earth who can make those kind of tough choices. The poor guy must be weeping into his caviar.

What a miracle! He must work that much harder than everyone else there! I'll bet A.I. could never do as good a job as he does!

I almost forgot... I heard his marbled meat will taste better than many other breeds of billionaire, especially when slow-smoked over Mesquite. I hope we are able to taste that one day.

Glad my layoff could help you out!

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.

I got a 63 cent raise this year too!

Fire the CEO and hire back the best with pay rises, if they're willing. JC, MS, get a grip on yourselves.

Satya's union of 1 knows how to negotiate apparently.

while trying to buy a license they claimed i needed a subscription to 365 garbage first. hung up and installed linux.

I remember whn he first came on the scene, everyone was talking about what a genius Satya was-- for copying AWS's business model. Tnen he stated women should not ask for raises in 2014. This is what you get when you put someone in charge who was raised and educated inside India.

This is not India and we dont want it to become like India.

Can't he get the extremely terrible way of grabbing focus and changing z-order fixed? That would be great..
