Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to Women: Don't Ask for a Raise, Trust Karma

  > “It’s not really about asking for a raise, but knowing and having faith that the system will give you the right raise,” OK, I don't have any general solutions for the problems of women in tech, but even I know that the statement above is inane bullshit. Ms. Nadella may have many fine qualifications that make her suitable to run a major corporation, but that statement ... Actually, thats probably part of what makes her qualified to run a major corporation: the ability to believe that the above idea will work and the gall to try and sell it. The System is built to pay you the least amount that you will accept. The System might grant you a raise once in a while as a reward, but the System is not going to pay you what you're worth if it can prevent that from happening.

      As <deity> is my witness, I read that article and still managed to come away thinking he was female. I should probably re-check all my code from yesterday.
