谷歌拟在摩托罗拉移动裁员4000人

摩托罗拉移动表示：“尽管我们期待这一战略将创造新的机会，帮助摩托罗拉移动恢复盈利，但我们理解这些变化带给有关员工多么大的困难。

“Motorola is committed to helping them through this difficult transition and will be providing generous severance packages, as well as outplacement services to help people find new jobs.

“摩托罗拉一定会帮助他们度过难关。我们将提供丰厚的遣散费，并将介绍新职、以帮助他们找到新工作。

Google said severance costs would be no more than $275m, to be recognised in the third quarter.

谷歌表示，遣散费成本将不高于2.75亿美元。该成本将在第三季度的报表中确认。

Cutting production of low-value phones will be essential in turning round the fortunes of the handset business. Last month, Google’s first quarterly report with Motorola Mobility included in results showed that the handset maker contributed $1.25bn in second-quarter revenue, but had losses of $233m.

削减低价值手机生产，对于扭转摩托罗拉移动的命运将是至关重要的。上月，谷歌将摩托罗拉移动收入旗下后发布的第一份季报显示，摩托罗拉移动为谷歌第二季度的营收贡献了12.5亿美元，但亏损2.33亿美元。

Google’s acquisition of Motorola Mobility has put the company head to head with Applein the battle for smartphones, with both companies controlling the hardware and software for their platforms.
