The press release title is "Nokia starts measures to align workforce and site operations with new strategy".
My translation: "Nokia blah blah blah"
Their PR people need to learn the art of a catchy title.
Really, does "to align workforce" mean anything?
EDIT: BBC News offers a bette title: "Nokia says it will cut 4,000 jobs"
- evolution 16y agoBesides hating, don't you think this is strategic move for the Nokia?
- wilhow 16y agoThe only thing strategic about "realigning workforce" and outsourcing your former core development team is to slowly wind the company down to a shell and then make the financial numbers look good on paper. This way the CEO and board of directors can give themselves huge bonuses for "saving" the company. Then 5-8 years down the road, when no more can be squeezed out of the Nokia brand name, they will look for a merger as the next strategic move.
- arethuza 16y agoYou really think it will take 5 to 8 years? They have bet the company on Windows Phone 7 which already looked doomed. I suspect in 5-8 years we will be talking about Nokia in the same way we talk about AltaVista, or at best they will sell the brand to some faceless manufacturing operation.
