Former employee Facebook group: the company still has feelings-IT news

Lead: a company, employees will not lose his job, cursing, but full of admiration. The company was once the hardware manufacturers, "elder brother" of Nokia. After a period of massive layoffs, the first "Nokia people" who created a Facebook group where keep in touch with past partner, Miss time. Foreign media recently TechCrunch wrote, give us a description of the former employees and "old team" love story between a Nokia.

The following is the main content of the article:

In October 2011, in Nokia employees weiruina·lanteluopu at the ends of the Earth (Verena Rentrop) and aierxi·palumo (Elsie Parumog) is conducting regular exchanges. They talk about Nokia operating in the IT sector, at the same time when a heavy message is emerging.

Every part of Nokia's are going through a big reshuffle, which also explains why the next few years a large number of employees have been laid off. Like weiruina and Elsie talks close remote links are gradually reduced.

Once Nokia needs a link to keep in touch. With that in mind, weiruina and Ai Erxi quietly signed up on Facebook "beyond Nokia (Beyond Nokia)" group.

Fast forward five years to November 10, 2016, the responsibility of weiruina application employs 952 people have been members of the group--the number of worthy, but it's not enough to make one amazing.

"That afternoon, sent me a message, and encouraged his former colleagues to join the Panel, hoping membership this year exceeded 1000 people. "Weiruina recalled.

Weiruina "unexpected" is, the team doubled the next day. A week after the team has exceeded 19,000 in the number, and is still growing at a rate of 1000 people per day. "Really is to get people surprises--especially when you compare this number with Nokia employees than when, soon it will break through the total number of layoffs in the past two years. ”

Crew exponential growth than a few weeks (although this group in the past five years almost nothing) is more sad, "beyond Nokia" members still maintained his affection for his former employer. Of course, the working partner of the year, too.

Nokia E7-00

"This is a love story," the former Director of Nokia Research Center in Helsinki suotilisi·makelijianisi (Sotiris Makrygiannis). "I've never seen so many people so deeply in love with his former employer. This is just incredible. They lost their jobs, but the company did not hate, they still admire their former company. ”

Weiruina believes that everyone's feelings may come from Nokia that slogan--the most famous human technology. "This is not just a slogan so simple. "She said. "In many people's eyes, Nokia is a big family. "" Transcend Nokia "group, you will often see a variety of Nokia express Miss posts and photos.

"It used to be the big company with 120,000 employees, but now small scale too much, I really do not understand why this is so. "One member wrote.

"For a long time, in any of the Nokia in an office building, you can feel, ' we can see everything ' passion and conviction. Each floor you can relay a turn, look at the look on everyone's face, you'll know what they are doing meaningful things. I really like the atmosphere. "Another poster recalls.

Nokia launched in 1995, green cell phone

Considering that Nokia was to dominate the hardware manufacturer, team members are also to miss the great eternal theme here. They upload many pictures that have been discontinued or limited edition mobile phone, and some prototype photos that have never been open to the public.

These pictures are just a few of the in memory of, other Nokia memory resonated with more--from when the contract is signed the first Nokia with pens, printed with a variety of marketing jargon, Office supplies, to Nokia factory "retired" neon sign.

Chocolate is another hot topic. Although Finland chocolate than Switzerland, and Belgium is famous, but also has its own characteristics. "Some people whose main job is when the ' Trapeze ', others not much travel opportunities all his geese are swans. Different feeling while traveling, but Finland Fazer chocolate loving is the same. At Nokia's time, this is the most wanted gift of travel; now we're gone, it has become one of our most desired taste. "Weiruina said.

Group's hideouts in the arcane argot of "when something embarrassing", especially the pratfalls on a conference call. This also reflected Nokia's heyday--offices around the world, employees often joke via conference call, flirts.

Nokia girl is like this, it's a sign of my 2010 wedding cars.

"We spent a lot of time in a conference call, which left a lot of good memories. People often forget to turn on and off mute. Can hear a dog barking on the phone, meeting someone on the toilet, someone in the group chat, private chat, chat on a routine call ' bond ' sudden. "Weiruina recalled.

Love story short get married, that is not complete, Nokia contributed more than each other. Within the group, we see a lot of Nokia employees overcome geographic constraints, to find true love. From Denmark to Brazil, from the United States to Hungary, from Finland to China, from one corner to another corner of the world – many of them spend the rest of the other half were found in the Nokia.

Love also brought "the Nokia family" members of the new generation. "Best of all Nokia products ' have been around for 12 years, and that is our lovely daughter. "One team member wrote.

Meanwhile, "beyond the Nokia" (they also built an independent website Nokia People) still fulfill connect Nokia's mission. As of press time, the team has more than 21,000 people. This number is still increasing.

诺基亚前员工建Facebook小组：对公司仍有感情 - IT资讯

导语：有一家公司，员工在失去工作后不会充满怨恨，反而充满景仰。这家公司就是曾经的硬件制造商“一哥”诺基亚。经历大规模裁员后，前“诺基亚人”们建立了一个Facebook小组，在这里与过去的伙伴保持联系、怀念曾经的时光。外媒TechCrunch近日撰文，给我们描述了前员工和“老东家”诺基亚之间的爱情故事。

以下是文章主要内容：

2011年10月，身处地球两端的诺基亚员工威瑞娜·兰特罗普(Verena Rentrop)和艾尔西·帕鲁摩（Elsie Parumog）正在进行常规工作交流。她们谈论着诺基亚IT部门的运行情况，与此同时时一则重磅消息正浮出水面。

诺基亚的每一个部分都在经历大洗牌，这也解释了为何随后几年大批员工被解雇。像威瑞娜和艾尔西的谈话这样密切的远程工作联系正逐渐减少。

曾经的诺基亚人需要一个保持联系的纽带。怀着这个想法，威瑞娜和艾尔西悄悄在Facebook上注册了“超越诺基亚(Beyond Nokia)”小组。

时间快进五年至2016年11月10日，这个由威瑞娜负责申请审核的小组已经拥有952名成员——这个数字令人起敬，但也不足以使人惊艳。

“那天下午，我发了一条消息，鼓励大家邀请自己的前同事加入小组，希望今年内成员数能突破一千人。”威瑞娜回忆道。

让威瑞娜“始料未及”的是，小组成员第二天就翻了一番。一周后组员人数已经突破1.9万，并仍在以每天1000人的速度增长。“真的是让人太吃惊了——尤其当你把这个数字与诺基亚雇员数比一下时，很快它就会突破过去两年的裁员总数了。”

比几周内组员指数级增长（尽管过去五年内这个组几乎没有动静）更令人感慨的是，“超越诺基亚”成员们依旧保持着对前雇主的感情。当然，对当年共事的伙伴也是如此。

诺基亚E7-00

“这是一个爱情故事，”前诺基亚赫尔辛基研发中心的应用总监索提利斯·马克里加尼斯(Sotiris Makrygiannis)表示。“我从未见过那么多员工这样深爱着前雇主。这真是不可思议。他们失去了工作，但却对公司没有怨恨，他们依然景仰自己曾效力的公司。”

威瑞娜认为，大家的感情或许源于诺基亚最著名的那句宣传语——科技以人为本。“这不仅仅是一句广告语那么简单。”她说。“在很多员工眼里，诺基亚就是一个大家庭。”在“超越诺基亚”小组里，你常常会看到各种抒发对诺基亚思念的帖子和照片。

“它曾经是拥有12万员工的大企业，但现在规模小了太多，我真不明白为什么会这样。”一个组员这样写道。

“有很长一段时间，在诺基亚的任何一栋办公楼里，你都能感受到那种‘我们可以实现一切’的激情和信念。你可以在各个楼层中转一转，看看每个人脸上的神情，你就知道他们在做有意义的事情。我很喜欢这种氛围。”另一个帖子如此回忆道。

诺基亚1995年推出的环保手机

考虑到诺基亚曾经是称霸一时的硬件制造商，小组成员们在一起怀念过去的精彩瞬间也成了这里永恒的主题。他们上传了许多已停产或珍藏版手机的图片，以及一些从未向大众公开的原型机照片。

这些照片只是怀旧的一小部分，其他关于诺基亚的记忆引起了更多共鸣——从签订第一份诺基亚工作合同时用的笔，印有各种营销行话的办公用品，到诺基亚工厂里“退休”的霓虹标牌。

巧克力也是另一个热议的主题。虽然芬兰的巧克力不如瑞士、比利时出名，但是也有属于自己的特色。“有些人的主要工作就是当‘空中飞人’，其他人则对不多的出差机会敝帚自珍。尽管大家出差旅行的感受各异，但对芬兰Fazer巧克力的爱都是一样的。在诺基亚的时候，这是大家最想要的旅行礼物；现在我们不在了，它却已然成为我们最渴望的美味。”威瑞娜说。

小组的讨论内容还包括隐藏在晦涩暗语下的“当年囧事”，尤其是电话会议上的窘事。这也反映出诺基亚鼎盛时期的状况——办公室遍布全球，雇员们常常通过电话会议来开开玩笑，传情达意。

诺基亚的女孩结婚就是这样，这是我2010年婚车上的标志。

“我们在电话会议上花了很多时间，这也留下了很多美好的回忆。经常有人忘了开、关静音。电话里能听到狗叫，有人在厕所开会，有人在群聊里私聊，一边面会一边聊天，还有在例行电话上‘邦德’突然加入。”威瑞娜回忆道。

爱情故事若是缺了终成眷属，那也算不得完整，诺基亚却促成了不止一对。在小组里，我们看到很多诺基亚雇员突破地理的限制，找到真爱。从丹麦到巴西、从美国到匈牙利、从芬兰到中国、从世界的一个角落到另一个角落——许多人在诺基亚找到了共度余生的另一半。

这些爱情也带来了“诺基亚家庭”的新生代成员。“最棒的诺基亚‘产品’已经问世12年了，那就是我们可爱的女儿。”一个小组成员写道。

与此同时，“超越诺基亚”(他们也建了一个独立网站Nokia People)仍在履行着连接诺基亚人的使命。截至发稿时，小组成员已经超过2.1万人。这个数字仍在增加。
