Microsoft claims to pay non-white employees more than white employees, even if they have the same job title
Microsoft Pays Non-White Employees More Than White Employees, Claims “Pay Equity” in Diversity Report
In a bold move, Microsoft has revealed in its 2023 Diversity and Inclusion Report that it intentionally pays its white employees less than non-white employees in similar roles, all in the name of “pay equity.” The report proudly showcases the company’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The report goes on to reveal that non-white employees, specifically Black and African American employees, earn more than their white counterparts. According to the report, US Black and African American employees earn $1.004 and Asian employees earn $1.012 for every $1.000 earned by US white employees with the same job title, level, and tenure.
Microsoft also takes pride in successfully promoting far-left ideology among its employees. The report emphasizes the importance of understanding how to be effective allies and fostering a culture of inclusion. In fact, 96.4% of employees reported some level of awareness of the concept of allyship.
This is not the first time Microsoft has faced criticism for its discriminatory practices. The company previously faced backlash for limiting the number of white and Asian students eligible for a prestigious research fellowship.

However, Microsoft is not alone in implementing discriminatory DEI policies. Disney, for instance, faced a federal civil rights complaint for using diversity metrics to determine pay bonus structures. The complaint alleged that Disney discriminates against white, Asian, and male employees and applicants.
According to America First Legal, Disney’s hiring, training, and promotion decisions are often solely motivated by race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, which is illegal under the law.
Similar discriminatory practices have been uncovered in other companies as well. NASCAR, IBM, Oracle, and Apple have all been found to exclude white and Asian applicants based on their race in various internship and training programs.
It is clear that discriminatory diversity policies are prevalent in many corporations, as revealed by investigations conducted by The Daily Wire. These policies unfairly target white people, men, and often Asian individuals, undermining the principles of equality and fairness.
What other initiatives has Microsoft implemented to promote diversity and inclusion within the company, aside from “pay equity
By white employees in similar roles. These numbers may seem small at first glance, but they demonstrate Microsoft’s commitment to rectifying historical pay disparities and creating a more equitable workplace.
The decision to intentionally pay non-white employees more is based on the company’s belief that systemic racism and historical inequalities have disadvantaged certain racial and ethnic groups. By implementing this “pay equity” approach, Microsoft aims to address these disparities and ensure that all employees are compensated fairly for their work.
While some may argue that this practice is discriminatory towards white employees, Microsoft argues that it is necessary to create a more inclusive and diverse workforce. The company believes that addressing pay inequities is crucial for fostering a sense of belonging and equal opportunity for all employees, especially those who have historically been underrepresented or marginalized.
In addition to implementing “pay equity,” Microsoft’s Diversity and Inclusion report highlights various other initiatives aimed at promoting diversity and combating discrimination within the company. These initiatives include expanding recruitment efforts to reach more diverse talent pools, investing in diversity and inclusion training for employees, and fostering an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
The decision to disclose this information in the Diversity and Inclusion report demonstrates Microsoft’s commitment to transparency and accountability. By openly sharing its pay equity practices, the company is setting a precedent for other organizations to follow suit and prioritize fairness and equality in their own compensation strategies.
However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of Microsoft’s approach remains to be seen. Critics argue that this approach may create a reverse discrimination effect, where white employees feel undervalued and discriminated against. It is crucial for Microsoft to carefully monitor and evaluate the impact of this strategy on its workforce and make adjustments if necessary to ensure that all employees feel supported and treated fairly.
Overall, Microsoft’s decision to pay non-white employees more than white employees in the name of “pay equity” is a bold step towards rectifying historical pay disparities and promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace. It is a clear demonstration of the company’s commitment to creating a more equitable and fair environment for all employees. Time will tell if this strategy proves effective and if other organizations will follow suit in their own diversity and inclusion efforts.
