It's a pity managers see themselves as "up". They should see themselves as below the engineers and accountants and whatever. Managing is a supporting role if done properly. The boss mentality is corrosive.

Manager needs to access/modify the compensation information for the employee. Employee will never see the compensation info of the manager. This is why the manager will always be seen as being above.

That seems like a pretty big leap. Here in Sweden anyone can ask the state for the total income for anyone else at any time, so clearly that's not the case.

By the time Microsoft stepped in, Nokia's mobile phone market share had already plummeted, and they'd cut their Finish work force to probably a third of what it was at its peak. Yes Nokia is a shadow of its former self, but most of that happened before Microsoft [0]. Hell if you really wanted to you might even be able to make an argument that, with hindsight, Microsoft saved Nokia by letting it gracefully jettison it…

Their downfall happened the day they decided go all in on Windows Phone instead of Android.. And that was 100% Elop doing.. But i don't believe it was a grand plan from MS to screw Nokia so they could buy it.. Some even suspect that MS just bought Nokia because Windows phone was not selling and Nokia was loosing money, so MS was afraid Nokia would turn to Android and they would loose their flagship devices.. So they…

Remember that nokia was already selling linux phones before it switched to windows.

It was a costly and useless move.
