Mis-spoke? He clearly thinks workers shouldn't ask for raises, they should just shut up and take whatever their bosses give them.
On top of believing something as retrograde and absurd as that, he is tone deaf to the especially unfair treatment of women.
Whether he should resign or not really depends on whether these views reflect those of Microsoft's board of directors.
EDIT:
Apparently Microsoft has a sock puppet/shill brigade on HN now. That's unfortunate.

- smm2000 12y agoIn general people do not ask for raises in big IT companies in US including Microsoft, Google, Facebook and others. The raises are function of performance review, title and budget with very little input from your actual manager. The best way to increase your income is not to ask for a raise but to either get promoted or find position at another company. I have never ever asked for a raise in my life and I did pretty well for myself.
- ebbv 12y ago> In general people do not ask for raises in big IT companies in US including Microsoft, Google, Facebook and others. Yes and do you think this benefits the workers or the companies? You do know about the recent anti-trust lawsuit against several of the companies you named for their non-poaching agreements right? These companies do all that they can to hold their workers' wages down. > I have never ever asked for a raise in my life and I did pretty well for myself. Imagine how well you'd have done for yourself had you not been such a pushover. EDIT: I will also add that it has always been my philosophy that if you do not feel you deserve a raise, you're doing a shitty job.

- eli 12y agoI completely agree with your comment, but I really think you should give differing points of view the benefit of the doubt. It's ridiculous to assume that people who disagree with you must therefore be part of some conspiracy.
