The Man Who Destroyed Nokia or Did He | Stephen Elop #nokia #StephenElop

Nokia. The name that used to be as synonymous with mobile phones as bread is with butter. And their phones at the time? We all know that they were literal tanks. They survived drops, dunks, and even the occasional toddler's wrath. But then, the unthinkable happened. The champion fell flat on its face and from ruling the roost, went to a mere ghost in the tech world.

The apocalyptic Microsoft and Stephen Elop relationship with Nokia leaves a terrible scar even today, especially on Finland. I got caught up in their scandalous asset stripping in 2011. Fuckers.

I feel for these fourteen THOUSAND people today. I loved working with the Finns and will always have happy memories from Helsinki and Tampere.

Roll on universal basic income.
