I usually never read Tomi Ahonen, as I find him biased, long-winded and extremely annoying (he frequently adds "haha" to sentences). But in this case it's fascintating to observe how a die-hard Nokia evangelist has been impacted by the news.

In Tomi's defence I was touched by this post where he offers condolences and job-hunting advice to his former Nokia's colleagues.

To Nokia colleagues being laid off or fearing for job survival - here a little bit of advice

I have just heard that Elop's 'strategy' includes layoffs. I am VERY sorry for you. But please do not despair. You have stong competence in mobile, a very difficult complex industry. You have experience in the biggest company of that industry. Mobile is a Trillion dollar industry (1,000 Billion, or one million million) - you WILL find a new job. Do NOT despair. Just take a deep breath, and calm down, and focus.

The first thing you have to do, is update your CV now, and contact every single contact you ever had, and start the search for your next job. Do not despair. You will find a better job, and it will not take that long. The mobile industry is in hypergrowth, so there are plenty of jobs, including very advanced jobs. It is not as bad, as the recent economic recession was. If ever there was a time to lose a Nokia job, this is about the best time for it to happen haha, you have no idea how much the rest of the world values your talents. Do not despair.
It shows everyone's human I guess.
