NADELLA mentioned that two years ago, Microsoft investigated Gates' extramarital affair with a female employee around 2000. This week, the relationship just came out. According to reports, Gates had an improper relationship with a Microsoft female employee during his tenure as chairman of the board of directors and chief software architect of Microsoft. A spokesman for gates also admitted this p> "Microsoft in 2021 is very different from Microsoft in 2000," NADELLA said in an interview on Friday“ For me and all of us at Microsoft, we pay a lot of attention to culture, diversity and inclusiveness, and the daily feelings of our employees are even more important to us. " p> < p > a Microsoft spokesman confirmed on Sunday that the company "received queries in the second half of 2019 about Bill Gates' attempt to establish an intimate relationship with a female employee of the company in 2000." p> "A committee of the board of directors, with the assistance of an external law firm, has reviewed the issue in order to conduct a thorough investigation," the spokesman said“ Throughout the investigation, Microsoft has provided extensive support to the employees who raised questions. " p> < p > Bill Gates left the Microsoft board in early 2020. But a spokesman for Gates said the decision had nothing to do with the investigation. At that time, Microsoft said that Bill Gates would continue to serve as a technical adviser to Microsoft leaders. The company has yet to respond to repeated requests for comment on whether Bill Gates is still a technical adviser p> Earlier this week, a gates spokesman said in an interview: "the relationship happened about 20 years ago and ended in a friendly way."“ Bill's decision to resign from the board had nothing to do with it. In fact, he said a few years ago that he was interested in investing more time and energy in charity. " p> NADELLA said on Friday that nearly 20 years after the incident, Microsoft is still reviewing the relevant queries, which is in line with the company's culture p> < p > "anyone can ask any question, even back 20 years ago. We will conduct an investigation and take actions to satisfy the suspect; We have not implemented compulsory arbitration. " "I think the environment we create allows the diversity and inclusiveness culture of the company to grow step by step, which I think is very important," NADELLA said p> < p > he added that since 2006, the company has had a policy requiring employees to disclose their workplace relations p> NADELLA said: "in general, no one can abuse his work power in any form."“ The most important thing for us is to make sure that everyone can come up with whatever they see and that we can conduct a full investigation.
