GOOD KARMA SUPREMO ON Pounds 52MILLION [Mirror (UK)]


(Mirror (UK) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The boss of Microsoft, who said women shouldn't ask for a pay rise, is on a Pounds 52million-a-year package, it emerged yesterday.

Satya Nadella, left, gets a Pounds 569,000 basic salary, which is boosted by a potential Pounds 2.2m bonus, figures have revealed.

But that is dwarfed by share awards, which he will pocket over time if the software giant is firing on all cylinders.

The mega-sum emerged as Nadella was slammed for remarks about pay for female executives.




The Indian-born boss told a conference earlier this month that women should rely on "karma" to get more pay, saying: "It is not really about asking for a raise, but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along. It's good karma. It will come back." Nadella, who is only the third chief executive to lead Microsoft over its 39 years, has since backtracked on his remarks.
