People are using "Norwegian culture" as an excuse but simple & scary "office politics" looks more likely.
Compare this blog post where the author threatens to quit to the previous ones, which express happiness with Telia, and an eagerness to ape Bay Area DevRel trends.

Their internal company culture does not seem to be in a good place.
- hantonsen 3y agoI’m not entirely sure where you get “threaten to quit” from. I am generally happy working at Telia, and the Happiness Fika that you link to is a great way to work with improving the workplace, in my experience. The point of this post, is to discuss how decisions like these are being made, and what I think should be a part of that process, using the example of our current Miro discussion as framing. The point of the ending paragraph is not to threaten to quit, but that some people quitting is one outcome that is probable when the company decides to cut out a tool that many people use and like. Personally I feel that the ability to be open about disagreements is a good sign for our culture.
