Motorola Mobile layoffs Enter second season

Motorola Mobile layoffs are on the verge of the second quarter.

March 8, Google announced that its acquisition of Motorola Mobile will be around the world to lay off 1200 people, accounting for Motorola Mobile 10%. It is understood that the Motorola mobile layoffs will be mainly China, the United States and India.

In an open letter, Google said it hoped it would be the last job cut by Motorola Mobility. "Layoffs will continue and there will be 4000 people left in the world," a Motorola Mobile employee told reporters March 11. By the end of December 2012, Motorola had moved 11113 people.

China is inevitable in this job cut. "The layoffs were a continuation of the layoff plan last summer," he said. Motorola Mobile China in the March 11 interview with reporters confirmed that China is also in the job cuts, but the specific number, list, specific posts, compensation programs are not disclosed. In order to comply fully with local laws and regulations, there is no immediate notice to those affected by the layoffs of mainland China's employees. This is not easy for the affected Chinese staff, and Motorola will do everything it can to help these workers through.

After the two sessions, layoffs in China will officially begin. "An employee at Motorola's Beijing branch said that research and development in China would be abolished, and U.S. research and development would be the focus of layoffs, and some product lines would be ruthlessly chopped off."

Employees at the Motorola Mobile Beijing Branch told reporters that after last year's layoffs, there were about 1000 people in the whole of China, including research and development, sales and technology. Eventually, the Motorola Mobile China staff will retain about 200 people, mainly in the market and sales. ”

An employee at the former Nanjing Motorola Research and Development Center told reporters according to the established practice, the redundancy compensation scheme is the same as that of last August, which is about "n+2", in which "N" refers to the working life of the employees, plus the compensation for 2 months, other Provident Fund, annual leave and other compensation rules are roughly the same as before.

In August last year, in the midst of the Motorola layoffs, the company, with its staff outcry, delayed the final date of separation for a few months in Nanjing's Motorola Research and Development Center, which had more than 500 employees, so that employees could find a satisfactory job in a city with relatively few opportunities for it jobs in Nanjing. Such a "curve" approach does not change Motorola's unified redundancy compensation scheme. At that time, also did not cause Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other companies employees of the "too much protest."

The former Nanjing Motorola Research and Development center staff told reporters that Beijing's IT job opportunities are more, Beijing staff may not be like the Nanjing Motorola Research and Development center of more than 500 employees to protest collectively. "This time the layoffs will be faster. ”

In last year's layoffs, more than 60 employees in China had been transferred to the United States for layoffs, and "so far, those who have been transferred to the United States have not been notified of layoffs and may be safe in this time of layoffs." "An employee at the former Nanjing Motorola Research and Development Center told reporters.

Earlier, a current engineer at Google headquarters told reporters that the new motorcycle mobile phone will be listed in early 2013, and Google temporarily did not intend to brand the motorcycle mobile phone "snow."

A mobile design industry told reporters that after a drastic abolition, Motorola will be more like a mobile phone design and marketing companies, rather than from the design, manufacture, marketing, sales, after-sale and other industrial chain of companies. (Tang)
