Nokia Siemens Networks, meeting with management

Today, at Horison Palembang, so basically we only worked for half day, hahahahaha......

Already for the second time we had these occasions, the first time was held in Aston Hotel.
The prime star was no other than Stephan Ciesleski(mind the spelling, quite cute guy though), the one who cut my contract value by 80.000 IDR hahahaha.... head of service sub-reg Indonesia.

But surprisingly enough, one of the point that mentioned was NSN is moving to become IT company! With communication trend moving towards IP Multimedia Subystem, at 2010 the vision of NSN is to connect 5 billion people with always-on communication system. Of course at that time all communication device will be expected to be based on IP.
To make things serious, the salary survey which is conducted to determine new harmonization of Nokia-Siemens employee's salary will be based on both telecommunication and IT industries.

Instead of the look from the outside, the guys really try to make the merger works, although I believe some of the comment made from the management is "tai kucing dibelai2" =P.

At that meeting, I also realized... when I met with other people from other project(Indosat and Telkomsel), hey... I already know some of them. We can talk and laugh together. It's like coming to a reunion. I wonder...how come I can get this far?

However, the effect of merger is not so good as management campaigned about. For the employees, we have little increment in salary(that's why Tetty bailed out, I suppose). We now are also facing difficulties to get overtime(must be approved by Stephan). For the subcons, they also are forced to accept offer with lower value(since the numbers of vendors are become lesser, while the projects number are limited).

I dunno, but Hutch now demands little surprise that requires much effort and miracle(I wonder, are their 3 really good in marketing?). Just wait for the showtime.
