seriously??? my sis in law works @ Nortel...

there's been talk like she's been waiting for the severance package as she's been there for a while...

but she hasn't got the sack yet... and still working on a few projects... smaller projects...

if it's bankruptcy then there's no package????

Alright,..... confirmed the news...

media dramatization... same like woolworths stuff...

Nortel filed for bankruptcy only affects USA, Canada and Europe

in Australia and Asia business still as usual, at least for the time being...

It's not that I'm thinking that way... I was just relaying to you all what my bro told me as his wife (my sis in law) is still working in Nortel St Kilda Rd at this very moment.

Beside what Nortel do or don't doesn't really concern me... my sis in law ACTUALLY was hoping to get severance... everyone in Nortel IS hanging around waiting for the company to sack them first rather than looking. A rather risky move if the company went under then there is no fund to pay off the severance package... so it's a gamble for them...

Nortel Networks.

www.nortel.com

she's had this for long time, she used to work for Hutchison telecom, working on the 3g network, then they ditch it and not really into it, although apparently they do launch the brand "3" on 3G network, so I wasn't clear what's the deal with hutchison giving up or letting go on some big projects...

so then after hutchison she works for this Nortel, and now things are looking gloomy too... poor her...

i didnt know the name existed in Aus. ive been at uni recently (summer semester, dedicated i know) for an evidence law unit and we studied a case where a woman who had worked at Nortel was murdered, in the midst of her job being threatened. perhaps this announcement was many years in the making.

so anyway.. what will this mean for us exactly?

Like Paul said, employees will be the last to get paid. She might end up getting nothing at all if there isnt enough money after they pay out their shareholders (which have priority over staff for payments). Tell her to get out now.

Well she said if she lost her job then she'll just stay home and not to bother finding other job and start having babies...

from all the companies going bust i have seen

the staff are the last to get paid

id tell your sister in law to get out now

Actually no... Staff are generally not the last to get paid under Australian bankruptcy rules. In the US its a different story. Best advice for ur sis is to start looking for other jobs but by no means quit. There is a good chance of a severance package especially if the company begins to restructure itself.

What is WiMax by the way?

its 4G technology based on OFDM, LTE which will overlay telstra's NextG network next year is very similar and in fact they will converge. It willl only be a niche broadband technology for Aus. I'm doing some deployments with it. I just did an interview with ZNet and some other online technology news poeple last week maybe it will be released one once I ok the content.

As it happens Nortel lead the R&D of this with Nokia, Alcatel and a Motorola. Only Nokia and Alcatel remain serious players in Australia closly following by CISCO in this domain...Ericsson is pure 3G/LTE here and globally.

I think you will find that law changed a few years ago when companies were closing down and all the heads were getting paid out and no one else, i think you will find now that employee's entitlements are one of the first to get paid out deoending on how much money the company actually has.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
