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.

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...
