Comment on Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020
grumpasaurusrex@lemmy.world 4 days agoThe story I’ve heard is that he took a nosedive in effectiveness as CEO when his son died in 2022 (nbcnews.com/…/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadellas-son-de…). No idea how true that is, but 2022ish does seem to have been a turning point for Microsoft in terms of strategy and how well the company is run.

That’s sad. Regardless of whether it’s one of the reasons for Microsoft’s nosedive, it does make me feel some unexpected sympathy for Satya Nadella. I also feel pity, because most high up CEOs do not seem happy with their lives — Many of them spend an absurd amount of time at work, even if they never seem to actually do much work, and I can’t imagine how hard it must be to weather grief under such conditions. No amount of money can buy you more time with a lost loved one.
It really seems like a hollow existence.
