Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will head back to the conference where he last year told women to rely on “faith” and “karma” for raises – but this time, he’ll be in the audience.
Nadella was invited back to speak at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference, but declined to instead “focus on listening, learning and exchanging ideas,” a Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) spokesperson told GeekWire reports.
Last year at the conference, during Nadella’s his first year as the Redmond company’s chief executive, he said women shouldn’t ask for the raises, but rely on the system to reward them appropriately.
Nadella backpedalled, but not before his comments drove a national conversation on diversity in tech and the gender pay gap. Women are paid 77 cents for every dollar a man makes for the same job in the U.S. That’s slightly higher among computer software engineers. Female employees make 88 percent of what men earn.
After the flap, Nadella called made changes at Microsoft in an attempt to assist close that gap, and made diversity training a requirement for employees. Business Journals Reports
