So this was reported from some Norwegian news site.

http://e24.no/it/her-gaar-1500-nokia...otest/20023317

Google translate:

1500 depressed Nokia employees went home Friday in a kind of silent protest, after Nokia's CEO announced mass layoffs.

Friday, the 1,500 Nokia employees work at Nokia's plant in Oulu in spontaneous protest.
The employees, mainly working on software development for Nokia now expects to lose their jobs. This reports the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat.
The reaction came soon after that their new CEO, Stephen Elop, had told the world that he intends to terminate a significant part of Nokia's 130,000 employees.
- A few Nokia employees chose to take advantage of the flexible working hours, union representatives said Kalle wedge, in a comment under the terms of the alternate strike.

Symbian downgraded

Several hundred of the 2,000 employees could lose their jobs because they work with the now downgrade the operating systems Symbian and MeeGo.
Nokia and Microsoft have not said that these should be phased out completely, but that Nokia will mainly focus on Windows 7 Phone

Ayes, I dont think Nokia will last that long with this. So I'd join you in that hunt for a new job.

I really wonder how much talent will defect. Maybe Elop won't care if software guys leave, but what happens when some of the hardware talent starts to go?

Can't say I blame them either.

GREAT ZARQUON! Can you imagine being that last new hire in one of those divisions at Nokia?

Or having been accepted for one of the MeeGo positions posted in the last couple months? Especially if you're not already inside Finland?

Grade school behaviour of children whose toys are being taken away. I hope Elop doesn't hesitate to fire their asses, this is a business and not a personal playground. They should be thankful for still getting a paycheque after years of torturing people with Symbian.
