Google Will Cut 1,200 More Jobs At Motorola Mobility

Posted by Soulskill on from the cutting-deep-to-clean-house dept.

alphadogg writes "Motorola Mobility is cutting 1,200 staff, in addition to a reduction of 4,000 staff it announced in August, to focus on high-end devices. 'These cuts are a continuation of the reductions we announced last summer,' said Motorola. 'It's obviously very hard for the employees concerned, and we are committed to helping them through this difficult transition.' Motorola's mobile business has been overwhelmed in the smartphone market by larger players such as Samsung Electronics, Apple, Sony, Huawei Technologies and ZTE."

    That's what those workers deserved. I'm sure they were making more than some third world country worker would work for. They can all go out and start their own businesses.
