It's ok, until they need to make quarterly numbers. - Anonymous employee Ericsson Employee Review

Ericsson (specifically their US business units) lays people off to get a quarterly boost. Every quarter. They specifically target folks that are either out on parental leave or vacation for lay offs. After all, if your not there for a week or 2, you must not be important to the company. Then once they realize they need the role, they hire someone in India for pennies, and work them 70 hours a week.
