So if I’m hearing you right, it sounds like you’re looking for net loss to justify the statement that “good CEOs punish themselves”, a statement made by another HNer and not by Nadella himself?

He did take a loss but not a net loss, so it didn’t go far enough is what I’m sensing?

Thus it’s an empty gesture devoid of any commitments to improve?

For me when I see gestures like this, I’m like oh ok. At some level I know it’s symbolic but it still sends a good signal. It doesn’t scream hypocritical to me.
