Will equal pay be reality for women? #tellusatoday


Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella ignited a controversy by saying that women asking for raises was bad karma. He later called the comment a mistake. Comments from Twitter are edited for clarity and grammar:

His comment is astonishing evidence that discrimination continues. It's amazing that those with such bias still get to CEO jobs.

Kudos to him for owning his mistake.

— @mokshaangel

Is asking for better software or a better upgrade experience bad karma?

— @mhenderson33

I think women need to stand up and ask for raises, but we really shouldn't have to. Our work ethic should speak for itself.

@MsTrishia

Equal pay for women in the workforce will never happen with CEOs like that running businesses.

@patchlees

If he believes in karma, after a comment like that, his karma too is to come.

@Mouchi22

His comment is shameful.

@philisking

I think his karma needs a good body and fender shop. It's been dented.
