Are there large layoffs coming at Motorola’s (MOT) mobile phone unit?
The blog PhoneScoop.com reports that the handset division could lay off as much as half of its staff, citing “someone familiar with Motorola’s plans.” The company’s set-top box, networking equipment and enterprise device units treportedly would not be affected. The blog also says that Motorola will not have a booth at the CTIA Wireless trade show in April, and that it is “prepared” to trim the number of new phones it brings to market to just a dozen a year - and that the only smartphones it will produce will be based on Google’s (GOOG) Android platform.
Motorola this morning is up 7 cents, or 1.6%, to $4.53.
受到影响的,已确定的是Moto mobile devices那块的UK, Singapre, 欧盟区全部裁掉,Moto India据传10K做软件的也被 裁, LV(美国总部)裁50%。估计此次裁人风波将有至少2万人受影响
Moto中国手机部分应当也会裁掉很多。
Moto iDEN,机顶盒,网络那一块不受影响。
