What true leadership looks like: settling for a mere $30.6m raise. That’s the story over at Microsoft, where CEO Satya Nadella asked the board to reduce his $10.7m cash incentive, citing failings managing multiple cybersecurity breaches.
Still, Nadella’s compensation package grew 63%, to a grand total of $79.1m, during the company’s most recent financial year.
The optics aren't ideal: Microsoft has laid off 2.5k+ employees this year.
