In a company-wide email sent earlier this year, the tech company’s CEO Satya Nadella warned staff of salary freezes and cuts to the bonus budget.

Regional Banks Face Another Hit As Regulators Force Them To Raise Debt Levels
U.S. regulators on Tuesday unveiled plans to force regional banks to issue debt and bolster their so-called living wills, steps meant to protect the public in the event of more failures. American banks with at least $100 billion in assets would be subject to the new requirements, which makes them hold a layer of long-term debt to absorb losses in the event of a government seizure, according to a joint notice from the Treasury Department, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
