In his first shareholder meeting as chief executive officer of Microsoft
Corp. (MSFT:US), Satya Nadella emphasized one message: Diversity matters.
At the 90-minute event today in a corporate conference center in Bellevue,
Washington, the CEO discussed and responded to questions about how Microsoft
is working to hire, retain and promote a more varied workforce, including
having all employees take training that alerts them to their unconscious
biases. The senior leadership team of the Redmond, Washington-based software
maker had just taken such a course, Nadella said.
Does not mention whether he plans to lay-off people, rather he focused on "
retain and promote".

微软的烙印，特别是V/A，HR，管理，一有把柄
就得抓住给闹大。那些简历要有多水啊。。。
萨提亚在任一年，可能是个坎。
他和他那烂学校师弟双双上微软诺基亚的巅峰，
可以也双双滚蛋。

Q: What issues did you discuss?
A: Opening up the door and letting more people in.
Interestingly, these same technology companies put huge amounts of money
offshore; they bring in [foreign] workers. There’s nothing unique about the
talents people are bringing in that they can’t [learn] here.
It’s teachable, it’s a matter of priorities.
[The industry is] as segregated as the Ferguson police department. ... They
don’t reflect the market.
Q: Could you compare Microsoft’s response with Amazon’s?
A: We want to meet with [Amazon]. We don’t come harboring any
predispositions toward the negative, frankly. But we do intend to be heard.
We’re concerned about workers.
It seems to me that top companies in the world should take seriously the
idea of fairness from the bottom up.
Now [Amazon] is talking about expanding [in Seattle], maybe four more
buildings. There’s going to be more guards, more workers. We hope that they
see the wisdom in getting to be a company that helps everybody.
Q: If Amazon isn’t going to commit to anything, would you encourage a
boycott?
A: We’re reluctant to.
They’re boycotting us. All white board? They’re boycotting people of color
. They’re boycotting our talent. They’re boycotting our market.
We buy their products, we expect reciprocal trade. Mutually beneficial trade.
Q: Some executives say a lack of workforce diversity is the result of a
limited applicant pool. How do you respond to that?
A: It’s the ultimate insult. You can’t find what you’re not looking for.
These [companies] that can find a dime on the White House from outer space,
can find what they’re looking for.
Most of the jobs [at technology firms] are not high-tech. STEM is important,
but 60 percent-plus of the jobs are advertising, marketing, lawyers,
construction.
There’s a core of people who are engineers. But [Mark] Zuckerberg may be
the only engineer on Facebook’s board. You can’t find people? We can help
find people.
