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.

    Maybe someone can make an app, so I can have someone paid at an insultingly low hourly rate to go protest/riot in my place?

        2.49 extra for assured personal rioter. Otherwise you’ll get the standard service where your rioter may have another riot to attend to first.
