To keep your job: Must work on weekends, Must work anytime when asked to work (7AM-11PM). No OT or comp time. Might as well go work for Huawei.
Is Huawei hiring in USA? If I have to work the weekends and from 7AM-11PM, then might as well work for a Chinese company in USA where I'm guaranteed to get a salary increase and bonus every year. Guaranteed because Huawei made $60B last year (and... — read more
Finland: Announced=1300, Actual=1032, What about the remaining 268 jobs (1300 -1032)? Is USA going to be the one paying the heavy price?

I have noticed that a lot of employees fear asking top executives about layoffs, reductions, cuts, synergies. Why are we so afraid? The worst they can do is fire us and that's going to happen anyway. So why not ask what's on everyone's minds. Forget... — read more
So it looks like the Nokia execs little game has been exposed, and they are just shuttering in fear.
They could not care less about those below them who will be sacrificed, after which their game will be finished. So sad. Let them feel the same emotions that we have had. Those once dedicated employees working many more hours than we should have, and... — read more
