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"

Besides hating, don't you think this is strategic move for the Nokia?

wilhow• 15 years ago

The 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.

Accenture hires 3000 employees. Additional 4000 are laid off from Nokia.

Symbian is dying out,slowly but surely.

Press release in plain english:

Nokia will fire 4000 people and 3000 will be moved to Accenture so there will be 7000 badges less in Nokia very soon.

Nokia can not fire them US style (as in "don't come here tomorrow") so they will need to do this in phases throughout 2011.

The accenture release is interesting: http://newsroom.accenture.com/article_display.cfm?article_id...

"Transitioning employees, located in China, Finland, India, United Kingdom and the United States, will initially work on Symbian software activities for Nokia. Over time, Accenture and Nokia will seek opportunities to retrain and redeploy transitioned employees."

Nokia moves Symbian to Accenture & more.
