Having “faith” in a system that has historically undervalued and underpaid women, that’s what. Such were the wise words of advice from Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, at a conference celebrating women in computing. When asked what women who are uncomfortable asking for promotions should do, Nadella said: 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. That, I think, might be one of the additional superpowers that, quite frankly, women who don’t ask for a raise have. Because that’s good karma. It’ll come back because somebody’s going to know that’s the kind of person that I want to trust. That’s the kind of person that I want to really give more responsibility to. And in the long-term efficiency, things catch up. Maria M Klawe, president of Harvey Mudd College and a Microsoft board member who has been a prominent advocate for women in tech had previously gushed about Nadella throughout the conference, but when she heard this response she took pause. “This is one of the very few things I disagree with you on,” she said to an outpouring of applause from the audience. Not surprisingly, Nadella’s comment received a firestorm of criticism after the conference for its sexist implications. Asking women to “have faith” and stay silent all while producing great work in the hopes of eventually being rewarded for this “good behavior” plays on tired gender stereotypes.
