Nokia is laying off 15000

Nokia is laying off 15000 after the merger with Alcatel-Lucent. And majority of the layoffs are going to be in USA R&D from 4G LTE Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) product development since Nokia wants to use their product in ATT/VzW/Sprint. However, ALU's product is superior then Nokia's product. But because Nokia bought ALU, it wants to use it's product to show the USA customers who's the boss.

I hope ATT/VzW/Sprint demand they keep the ALU product because going to a less superior product doesn't make sense.

In order to buy Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia made a deal with the French government, that the French layoffs would be minimum (-411 jobs but +500 college grads) so now the USA employees are the ones to get hit by the layoffs.

ATT/VzW/Sprint are the USA company now providing Nokia with a steady stream of revenue and USA employees are the ones hardest hit by the layoffs. And the funny thing is that no USA manager/HR person is willing to tell the USA employee what percentage, which facility, when majority of the layoffs will occur.

Just check out the webpage: www.thelayoff.com/nokia -- not many employees are posting.

Wow who would quit a job like that? You move on and let the job quit you.

That's fine. Alcatel-Lucent in US is populated with 95% of it's workforce that permanently work from home with very little work - and run businesses or second job along side.

Each ALU employee is warming a seat to repeat a task on a weekly or fortnight basis. ALU does not like pressurize or demand too much from their employees. Like a PM might have a job of only running a weekly report. A technical manager who after 10 years of managing his same engineers still does not understand what systems or processes are in effect, he just holds a half hour meeting with them in the week and continues to live his good life at home.

I am glad (I am a shareholder) Nokia will clean up Alcatel-Lucent in NAR (North America Region). That company has too many lazy, self-entitled, spoilt employees that have been around for decades with little or no work - and without pay raises or bonuses but refuse to leave for greener pastures - solely for the reason of being virtual employees with no supervision.

Another pathetic liar? Nope. Probably the same one. Here is the actual info: http://fortune.com/2016/04/06/nokia-layoffs/
