访谈录 2014-10-20&10-22 微软CEO告诫女性别求加薪 称将带来“好报”

 A tough new challenge this morning aims squarely at the embattled CEO of Microsoft, a man under fire for a comment he made about women in the work place, when discussing the issue of equal pay, the CEO told a group of women, wait for it that not asking for a raise is good karma, yes ABC's Clara S who just wrote a best selling book about women at work called the confidence code is here with the very latest, good morning.

I don't know if i have good karma, Dan, we'll see, but Satya Nadella has only been on the job eight months, what a way to start the issue of how few women have top jobs or any jobs in the tech world, and their compensation is extremely sensitive, his comments will be hard for him to shake.

This morning more backlash after new Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella offered this advice to a room full of 8,000 working women.

It's not really about asking for the raise but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raise as you go along, that's good karma, it will come back.

Those words sparking global outrage¹ after Nadella spoke² Thursday at a women's technology conference, the hashtag karmaascompensation taking off, even singer Cher calling Nadella misogynist³ in chief and feminist⁴ author Jessica Valenti saying women don't create change by trusting the system, but by disrupting it.

This is an invitation for them to get more involved and to care about their female coworkers.

In a email the Microsoft employee just hours after the event, Nadella said his response was wrong, adding i believe men and women should get equal pay for equal work, but silicon⁵ valley entrepreneur N challenge Nadella to create a new normal right away, in a number of matters to the tech in Times magazine, M suggests tomorrow you re-level and compensate⁶ every woman on the same pay scale as your men, that would change the industry and you have it within your powers to do it.

Then he needs to put his money where his mouth is, tracked to see what your female employees are getting paid, how does that suck out to the male employees in your company, is there a disparity? and if there is a disparity, look creative T created comedies see what the problem is.

Now Nadella may not have meant to say or implied that women shouldn't be paid equally, the problem is that Nadella just doesn't support his notion that if women don't ask, they'll eventually be paid the same as men, but the fact is he was smart to apologise right away, and if he can do something meaningful about this right away, he'll come out looking good and it'll be better for everyone.

And the issue we are asking for a raise goes right to the heart of the book you wrote called the confidence code which i recommend everybody that is really important for women in the work places, it is a huge issue.

It is a huge issue, it's not easy for us to do but karma isn't really going to help us on this, i don't think.

Fair enough, thank you.
