In the context in which Nadella said this, it was applicable to women… but let me tell ya, this quote is revealing and applicable to ALL WORKERS.
Allow me to paraphrase Molly Crabapple: companies are there to exploit you and to extract as much labor out of you as possible while paying you as little money as possible. Always treat companies with intense cynicism and try to exploit them back as much as you can.

You do realize that you’re quoting a cartoon to support your argument, Right?
As prone as I am to the occasional outburst of Daffy Duck-ism when someone does something ignorant, you’ll get more weight from this in a discussion if you credit the genuine source of the quotation. Try the person who wrote the episode.
Molly Crabapple is a person, an artist and a writer, hired and published by TPM no less. Not the fictional Simpsons teacher, whose name is actually Edna Crabapple.
