Im sure the must be some company policy that allows you to do this....
Its been about year and half since Elopcalypse. There's no other products in the pipeline. Half of the remaining cash will be gone in six months, i.e the money will run out before anything else would even be on the market.
Only reason to fire him would be to stop him earning big pile of millions because of his failed startegy. But thats a moral argument. Business wise it makes no difference. Nokia went all in on Elop and lost all. Time to close or sell the shop, and everyone else to move on.

Well well, now it's time to look for a new job.
I was on vacation and a friend texted me a moment ago that we were laid off.

Now countdown to the leak, but I really hope it won't happen as Nokia needs to pay this big time.

Thank you to you, and all the others, that contributed to the Nokia I knew and loved.

look at RIM, they are adopting Qt but thanks to the MS agreement this is being killed leaving no backup plan.
Adding Qt support is kinda the only option for them. The previous Adobe Air platform and Flash plugin will probably also be killed as Adobe and flash are becoming less relevant and Adobe stopped Linux and Android support already.
I believe the playbook plugin is expected for Qt Creator 2.6, so it is bugs and beta until then. I just hope Qt at least releases an update for the QtSDK that includes Qt Creator 2.5, as the previous one has some nasty bugs when developing for N9.
I also hope RIM doesn't run out of cash reserves before they can actually release their next-gen phone.

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:14.
the layoffs were kinda expected but Meltemi and Qt on Mobile being binned is the shocker! look at RIM, they are adopting Qt but thanks to the MS agreement this is being killed leaving no backup plan.
any new OS creation from hereon will require at least 2 years which NOK can ill-afford. its a huge gamble which is stacked against NOK...a very sad day for all Nokia fans...
