Motorola Cutting 1,900 Jobs Globally
An AP newswire article, via The Washington Post, reports that:
Motorola Inc. is cutting 1,900 jobs at 29 different U.S. and international locations in an effort to improve operating efficiency, the company said Wednesday.
The cell-phone maker said the layoffs will be distributed over its facilities in more than 20 countries and began in July, when it announced a planned consolidation of its supply chain facilities over the next several years.
Motorola's work force will remain at about 68,000 since it is simultaneously adding staff in such areas as engineering and marketing, spokeswoman Jennifer Weyrauch said.
"This is about operating more efficiently and delighting our customers, it's not about a significant change in head count," she said.
