On monday, according to foreign media reports, satya nadella, the chief executive officer of microsoft, gave a speech on microsoft cloud computing. During the dialogue, nadra apologized for the inappropriate statement made two weeks ago that “female employees should not ask for an increase in their wages” and called microsoft's male employees equal to female employees。
Nadra claims that there is equal pay for men and women in microsoft. In fact, the proportion of female employees in microsoft is 29 per cent, and 17 per cent of female employees work directly in science and technology. In september this year, a new report showed that in science and technology companies, women were paid $6358 less than their male colleagues, while women with one child were paid $11247 less than other colleagues。
Nadra said yesterday, “i am not aware of this.” nadra publicly apologized for his earlier statements. He said, “in microsoft, i believe that men and women are treated equally. Our company has proven to be doing well in this area. But this is not the essence of microsoft... The core of microsoft is equality of opportunity for all employees.”
He added that “microsoft still needs to do more in this regard. How do we get women back to work after their break?" but the executive did not give the answer。
