Motorola to Cut 20 Percent of Workforce
Monday, 13 August 2012
Let’s face it – Motorola isn’t doing too well in the extremely competitive smartphone market. And judging by the fact that Motorola Mobility is heading towards the deadpool, it looks like Google is here to the rescue. Apparently, Google acquired Motorola Mobility, in which Larry Page mentioned would supercharge the entire Android ecosystem. However, prior to supercharging the ecosystem, Motorola would need to be reorganized in order to gain the synergy.

Just recently, Motorola has announced that they will be laying off at least 20 percent of their workforce, which includes 40 percent of its vice presidents. Generally, the lay-off would scale back Motorola’s presence in Asia and India, while focusing on its operations in Chicago, Sunnyvale and Beijing. The new Motorola will work on lesser devices too, and they will focus on a few high quality handsets each year, as opposed to a few dozens a year. Perhaps Motorola isn’t ‘Blur’ anymore – at least they got a direction to head to, other than the deadpool.
