Nokia announces layoffs with flowery language

by Thomas Ricker, posted Nov 4th 2008 at 4:44AM

Hiding behind a press release titled "Nokia continues its change and renews some of its activities," the woodsmen of Espoo are swinging a corporate axe of woe. In total, the mobile phone giant plans to cut something on the order of about 600 jobs in its Sales and Marketing, R&D, and global operations. Nothing compared to the cuts at Motorola but certainly unwelcome news for those affected.

Actually they are just re-shuffling people inside Nokia. No one will be fired.
