#2I guess that means he recognized that he put his foot in his mouth.

#3It's in Satya's interest for employees not to demand raises. Goes for men too. I bet he tells employees not to share salaries either. All it does is breed discontent when you find out how much more your peers make. Instead, you should work super hard and hope the salary fairy will recognize your contributions!
Everyone in a company should go interview every year or two and figure out how much $ you're worth. If you're underpaid, you'll be in a great position to either get a raise or hop jobs.
Of course assholes like Mark Suster will tell you not to hop jobs -- you might get paid what you're worth! Instead, you should stay at startups, be underpaid, and bust your ass. Especially if Mark invested. Don't listen.

#4I think it's impressive, and somewhat refreshing to see someone so plainly admit "Sorry, I fucked up, I was wrong. I know better now." I was expecting more bullshitty-tasting PR-written damage control.

#6Refreshing to see Satya clearly state "I answered that question completely wrong."
No weasel words there...as opposed to so many other non-apology apologies.

When has Mark Suster said that?

#9The question remains: did he merely misspeak, or is he actually that disconnected from what it's like to have a job?
It's good to see a clear and quick retraction, but jeez -- did the words really reflect a thought he had in his head?
