Relying on the karmic forces of the universe is clearly working out for Microsoft chairman and CEO Satya Nadella, judging by his expanding compensation package.Some 96 percent of this near $55 million package was performance-based, versus 71 percent in 2021.When Nadella took over the organization, Microsoft turned over $86.8 billion in sales, net income was $22.1 billion, and earnings per share were $2.63.- And then the SEC said, we'll claw back bad bonuses- People are coming out of retirement due to cost-of-living crisis- Oracle extends share options plans, no bumper payday for execs... yet- IBM investors staged 2021 revolt over exec payMicrosoft's growth has slowed in the past year as it has for many peers following a stall in economies around the world.Anyone among that workforce wanting a pay rise would do well to remember what Nadella said during his first months as CEO, when he spoke to an audience at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing event."
