History

Historical Context

In July 2014, after Satya Nadella became CEO and Microsoft bought Nokia’s devices unit for €5.4 billion, the company announced a 13% cut—over 18,000 jobs—to shift resources toward Azure cloud and Windows 10. Apple’s recent elimination of more than 200 Vision Pro and Siri roles follows the same pattern of trimming staff to fund AI-driven platforms.
