  • 工作学习 / IT杂谈 / Many Chinese guys in Nortel were layoff these days.
    • My friend just join the Nortel this month. If you can not improve yourself, you will lose your job no matter where you work. cheerup!
    • 反正一个原则就是:这里是资本主义社会,讲的是公平交易。移民卖的是智力+语言+适应市场的技能。幸运儿没真本事迟早也是要混不下去的
      • 我的一个朋友原来是搞化工的现在在一家不大的电脑公司,前一段公司LAYOFF一批人把一个巴基斯坦的数学硕士+多大CS学士给LAYOFF,却给他加薪
        那个人用了4个月才找到一份4万的工作,而我的朋友薪水是7。5万。想起来原因主要是哪个巴基斯坦人工作对公司不重要平时也不加紧学习的缘故。而我的朋友平时则非常用功。
        • A few words about CS degrees
          CS degrees from most universities do not mean working abilities. In some sence, CS degrees are just like MCSEs----indicating you have spent some time. Chinese friends like to compare CSs from different schools, but I think it is meaningless. If you are a CS from MIT, University of Maryland at College Park, University of Waterloo, I do trust you just like you are graduated from Physics Department of Peking University.
          If you have a CS degree from a "generic" university, I cannot believe you are competent because I talk you for about 30 minutes.

          There is a misunderstanding among Chinese immigrants. Some people
          think a Canadian CS degree can secure their life in Canada. It is wrong. To survive in IT industry and make more money, the most important thing is to learn and learn.
      • Right. You won't buy anything you don't need, especially when you don't have much money. The same rule applies to the job market. If the employer doesn't need your labour, he won't buy it anymore, then you get lay-off.
    • 未必是坏消息。我的一个朋友是其中之一,北电补偿了他四个月的工资。
      • In Was. DC area, the employer usually gives 2-week salary.
        Nortel is really rich and can still burn money. It seems to be a bog advantage to hug the giants like IBM and Nortel.


        If I were laid off now and given 4-month salary, I would be happy to tears!
        • But not in Nortel.
