It was sad for me to see my ex-colleagues were laid off. I also understand the rationale behind the decision. Not only Nokia, many other companies are also moving to Chindia to get cheaper cost. I believe this trend will continue. The question for "expensive countries" is how can they utilize skills/experiences that are not available in Chindia. Anyway, life must go on and it's good news that some of them will be employed by ScanBull. I used to be working on Nokia’s Bochum site a couple of years ago.
