Monkey Boy rules!
All of the CEOs of Microsoft.

Microsoft closed its acquisition of a near-dead Nokia for $7bn in April, 2014.

Yesterday it announced 18,000 layoffs, mostly from the 25,000 Nokia workforce, cementing Ballmer’s achievement of perhaps the greatest waste of money in corporate history. And you thought the US military was a spendthrift?

New CEO Satya Nadella has a dream job. After all, how could anyone be worse than Ballmer?

Wall Street loved the move, naturally:

No need to get excited about anything MSFT makes. Yet. Excel is fine. Otherwise, fughedaboutit.

As for Ballmer, with a net worth of $18bn, he’s living proof of the dictum that has it “It’s who you know, not what you know”. Or should that be “Screw up and go up”?
