Let's talk some real idiocy (IMO) here.

I have been told by some current and ex-Nokia employees that there's still a wholesale personnel dump going on, particularly in North America. The main reason? Lack of degrees. And sure enough, after experienced Nokia employees are let go, I see new listings like "Logistics Coordinator" asking for, of all things, a Master's Degree.

That's nuts. At Nokia I indirectly led around 400 logistics coordinators worldwide and I just have an Associate's degree. Nokia US is really disconnected from reality... I wonder how much of that is corporate-wide...
