>I am employed at Nokia
>I am employed by Nokia
>I am under contract to Nokia
>I am on staff at Nokia
>I am in the employ of Nokia
>I have employment at Nokia
>The bucks come from Nokia
>I am in the pay of Nokia
>I am on the payroll at Nokia
>I am in Nokia's payroll
>Nokia employs me� etc.

Don't forget other usable equivalent phrases like:

I'm a slave for Nokia
Nokia uses me for capitalist gain
I'm a pawn in Nokia's game
Nokia owns me
I'm the property of Nokia
Nokia is my new family now
I live at Nokia
I'm under Nokia's big shoe
... etc

But I guess it all has to do with the cup half-empty/half-full
thing :)
