Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is delivering a stark message to his top executives: sign on to the company’s artificial intelligence transformation or leave, according to internal documents and employee interviews obtained by Business Insider. The ultimatum comes as Nadella views AI as both an existential threat and Microsoft’s biggest opportunity in decades, with the CEO personally conducting conversations with senior leaders about their willingness to embrace the intense workload ahead.
“Satya is pushing on intensity and urgency,” one Microsoft executive told Business Insider, adding that the pressure is forcing some Microsoft veterans to decide whether they want to stay and commit to the mountain of work required.
