Motorola April 2009 10-Q filing indicates 7600 to be terminated in 2009 and the year’s not half over. Expect more as the numbers worsen. iDEN work is now virtually all in Russia and India. Get all the milk then kill the cow and sell the beef. Or was it get all the golden eggs at once plus a goose dinner? Dead corp walking.

In addition to the 4000 announced, I was part of an unannounced layoff– if MOT lays off less than 500 you will not see any press release. So an extra 500 people a month…
Also some WARN act schenanigans going on.

avoid applying for a job at Motorola– unless you are a CEO

Iden phones are the only profitable and growing handset segment in Motorola, so they will continue.

Is there ever a time where Motorola is NOT laying off people that work for them? They laid off nearly 10,000 in 2007, 2600 in January of last year, another 3000 people in November of last year, and now this?

I’ve never worked for Motorola, but live close enough to the Illinois border to know quite a few people who do – Can’t imagine why the keep staying.

This could actually be good for Motorola.
Remember when Palm was about to die?
Nothing pushes innovation like total bankruptcy!
