Basically the leadership started trying to manipulate the stock price around the year 1999. By selling off their assets and profitiable divisions. They run the business as if they were day traders. Looking for the quick score. If they had continued building quality products the market would have taken care of its self. But we see where they are now!

Question for laid off employees from nortel on this board.
I am from one of the U.S facilities.
I know you cannot discuss terms of separation aka severance.
Regarding your reasons for layoff.
What did you usually find was the most influential reason.
Product you were working on.
Relationship with Manager.
Performance Rating.
I have heard a bad performance rating which i believe is called least effective does not necessarily mean you will be laid off.
Just curious what with layoffs going on all the time.

I heard of multiple rushed layoffs this week. For example, manager on vacation so person laid off by another manager who happened to be at work. Another example: out of blue call from remote manager who did not have time to fly into town to do it him or herself. No signs of the Z man or his Z-ombies getting whacked..
