Nokia workers Lose Finnish Style Benefits, Being Laid Off
Before the takeover by Microsoft, Nokia employees had the benefit of Nokia’s generous Bridge programme. Bridge helped some of Nokia’s laid off 40,000 workers to develop skills or launch their own startup.
No such luck if you get fired from MS! Was this takeover just a ruse to cut costs of a Nokia bankruptcy while its boss Steve Eslop got to move back to Redmond?
Or is this all some sort of way of avoiding taxes at the expense of laid off workers?
