Microsoft has stated repeatedly said it’s committed to boosting diversity. Now the company has strengthened that commitment by pledging it will seek minority candidates who could one day take the place of CEO Satya Nadella.
“The board is committed to actively seeking highly qualified women and individuals from minority groups to include in the pool of potential CEO candidates,” Microsoft said in its annual proxy statement on Monday. The board handles CEO succession planning, including identifying both internal and external candidates and coming up with plans to develop internal candidates, according to the filing.

I’m using it a bit more these days.
I hope there is a huge class action lawsuit against them. This is blatently unconstitutional.
Proxy Fight!
I keep thinking, maybe erroneously, some day their cloud will be hacked and thousands of peoples’ data be stolen. If I’m wrong, explain how.
A company has only one job and that is to make money legally, ethically and morally for the stock holders.
Anything else is simply rubbish.
As a company declares its wokeness I sell the stock. Chevron was one of the first to go and I hated selling it at the time, the dividend was pretty good. Exxon still remains.
It gets harder all the time to stomach some of this virtue signaling crap.
There have been lots of male failures in the board room but I see a whole lot of female ones. Oxy is clinging to life because of a bad executive decision by one of the diversity candidates who was early destined for the executive suite. Once picked they are set up to succeed as a condition of employment for their superiors. Shameful and shameless.
The other level of exec insanity is the green movement by the euroweanie energy companies like BP, Shell, Total, Eni etc.

MS has been staggering for a long time, now I guess a slo-mo fall down.
It appears that Satya managed to piss off the board of directors when he said that women should not ask for a raise, wait for it. (paraphrased from Wikipedia)
White MEN need not apply. I think a White woman can still

Very few whites ever file discrimination lawsuits because they believe they will suffer social consequences and the courts aren’t immune to prevailing social attitudes toward race. It’s an uphill battle though that will have to be fought.
All companies are required to pay the “diversity tax”; it doesn’t mean the tokens will actually influence anything - they just want money and titles. These schemes are open admission that some groups just won’t fare well in a meritocracy - so we’ll have equal (financial) outcomes, not based on equal effort/qualifications.
Companies still need skilled people to do the real work, and this is the only reason any white guy still has a job.
