How Women Should Ask For A Raise

How Women Should Ask For A Raise There’s no question that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella put his foot in his mouth last week when he suggested that women should not ask for raises but instead should just do a good job and have faith that they will get the pay they deserve. He made the baffling statements in an unlikely forum, a conference in Phoenix celebrating the achievements of women in computing. Microsoft board member and Harvey Mudd College president Maria M. Klawe had asked Nadella what advice he’d give women who are not comfortable asking for a promotion. Nadella’s answer: “It’s not really about asking for the raise, but knowing and having faith that the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along.”
