Motorola to lay off 1,000 staff
9月28日,摩托羅拉表示,為了降低經營成本,它將裁掉芯片部門的1000名員工。摩托羅拉稱,它將花費5000萬美元來完成這次裁員工作。隨著摩托羅拉半導體產品部門的獨立,這次裁員將取消相關的工作崗位。摩托羅拉的半導體部門現在作為Freescale半導體公司獨立經營。

Motorola, the world's second largest mobile phone maker, is cutting 1,000 jobs although its core cellphone business will be unaffected.

The cuts, affecting 1% of the US firm's workforce, will fall in its digital security, car navigation and broadband cable divisions.

Motorola will pay $50m (£27m) in severance payouts although it stressed its total workforce would not decrease.

Analysts said the cuts were an attempt to fine-tune the firm's operations.

Global demand for mobile phones remains healthy.

However, fierce competition among manufacturers and a sluggish recovery after a three year downturn in the telecoms sector has forced firms to make savings.

Most of the redundancies will come in the third half of the year, Motorola said.

The company is continuing to hire new staff and employee numbers will remain roughly stable.

"This does not mean our work force number is going to go down," said spokeswoman Jennifer Weyrauch.

Analysts said the firm's underperforming broadband division could take the brunt of the job losses.

Motorola's sales rose 40% in the second quarter of the year and its third quarter figures are expected to be similarly healthy.

However, the company posted a second quarter loss of $203m as a result of a $900m exceptional charge.

Motorola is hoping to raise $218m from the sale of shares in telecoms firm Nextel Communications.
