Bookmark topic
HELSINKI, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Nokia, the world's biggest cellphone maker by volume, said on Tuesday it planned to cut about 800 jobs in its home Finnish market.
The company said in a statement it concluded negotiations with employee representatives on the planned reductions, which it plans to start putting into effect in January.
Nokia plans to offer severance packages worth 5-15 months of regular salary but hopes some of the employees affected will be relocated elsewhere in the company, it said.

Any explanation or reasons for this?
I'm not into economics..
And I noticed Nokia have over 130,000 employees! This is one huge company.
What would cutting 1800 worldwide, 800 of them in Finland, do in effect?!
Anyway, while I was reading, I noticed Nokia had about $55 billions revenue, and $1.2 billion profit last year.
Apple with 50,000 employees, have about $65 billions revenue, and $14 billions profit!
Of course, by Apple, it's meant the whole corporation, not just the iPhone segment.
