I am sad for Nortel. I did an unpaid internship course in high school at Nortel which was a great experience and best of all, at the end I got 300$ bonus. This was in 1999 back when Nortel was on top of the world. They were the company people wanted to work for in the Ottawa area. They were a real company before the hi tech boom and were corrupted by it. They suffered a decade of poor management that saw them through stock options scandals, accounting restatements, and general stupidity. I remember spending half the money I earned one summer on Nortel stock after the bubble popped figuring Nortel was at ~50$, they cant go any lower.
