When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was asked at a technology conference last week how women should ask for a raise, he said they shouldn’t ask, and they should just trust the system to pay them what they’re worth.

He later said that was wrong.

Now, in a memo to employees, Nadella says Microsoft shouldn’t only focus on equal pay for equal work, but also on the opportunity to do equal work. He also says, going forward, Microsoft needs to recruit more diverse talent and foster a more inclusive culture.
