Microsoft will DOUBLE its budget for workers’ salaries and boost stock compensation by at least 25%

Microsoft plans to fight inflation and retain workers by DOUBLING its budget for staff salaries and boosting stock rewards by at least 25%

• Microsoft is considering significant pay raises in an effort to address growing dissatisfaction and stop employees from leaving for competitors like Amazon 
• In an internal company poll only 66% of employees answered favorably to a question about whether they get a ‘good deal at Microsoft’ 
• Responses to such the question are down from 73% last year
• In February, Amazon more than doubled its maximum base salary to $350,000 in response to employees who said they were receiving ‘comparatively low pay’
