In Finland there is a mandated period of 'consultation' - usually at least 2 weeks long, between company and employees (or their representatives) when such things happen. I don't know if the actual term in Finnish is supposed to sound as euphemistic as the English one - but at this point it's pretty much decided.
- m00dy 3y agoIs Nokia still a Finnish company ?
- dagw 3y agoNokia has always been a Finnish company. They've just licensed their name out (via a daughter company) for use on phones now.
- m00dy 3y agoI thought Microsoft bought it long time ago and it became US company then. But, I think it is not the case anymore.
- dagw 3y agoMicrosoft didn't buy Nokia the company, despite what a lot of journalists made it sound like at the time. They bought Nokia's mobile phone division and related businesses. With the purchase they also got 10-year exclusive right to use the Nokia name on phones.
- hiAndrewQuinn 3y ago"Muutosneuvottelut", which literally translates to "change negotiations", is basically the Finnish way of saying "mass layoffs and corporate restructuring incoming". Not the same thing as what you're describing but I find it funny in the same way.
- thisisit 3y ago> In Finland there is a mandated period of 'consultation' Those consultations have been going on sometime now. This is nearly over. Overall, this is just plain stupid wording.
