The first thing people have to understand when a large corporation like MS purchase a large company like Nokia, there are tons of jobs that overlap between the 2 companies. Depending on the size of the company and what the purchaser wanted from that purchase a lot of jobs become redundant. The layoffs are more in line with removing redundant jobs then the health of the business. The jobs that usually get cut are the ones from the purchased company then the parent. I have gone through a few of these purchase where I was part of the company being purchased where most of the jobs are cut. I have also been on the other side where we go into meetings deciding which jobs are redundant and should be cut.
Its unfortunate that it has to be that way but it would be stupid for the parent company to keep jobs that overlap or no longer needed in the new structure.
