Mika Mocks Microsoft CEO For Telling Women Not To Ask For Raises

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough talk about President Obama's travel plans.

Mika Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” on Sunday mocked the male Microsoft CEO’s recent advice for women looking for a raise.

“It’s not really about asking for a raise, but knowing and having faith that the system will give you the right raise,” Satya Nadella said at a Thursday conference.

“That might be one of the initial ‘super powers,’ that quite frankly, women [who] don’t ask for a raise have,” Nadella continued. “It’s good karma. It will come back.”

He later apologized for his “inarticulate” comment.

But on Sunday Brzezinski joked that she was following his advice.

And her co-host Joe Scarborough chimed in.

    LOL, this really is the end times (just finished reading the FOX gay marriage thread…) I just thought that Scarborough’s comment was hilarious.

    Ah yes! “The little lady”. Women just love to be referred to in to in those terms.

    One would imagine that any male with the title of “Microsoft CEO” in this day and age wouldn’t be so out of touch.
    What was he thinking?

  5. I used to believe in Karma until I woke up and pulled my head out of my ass.

    Fuck Karma and fuck Microsoft too.
