- iqster 15y agoThanks for the clarification. While MSI is considered the successor of the original Motorola, you are absolutely correct. I didn't realize that the cell infrastructure division(s) got sold (used to work on CDMA base-stations a decade a go). Makes me a bit sad. Do you know if they kept the employees?
- seagaia 15y agoMy dad works for MSI - he kept his job, and a few people he knows at the mobile one kept theirs. I know layoffs are fairly common, although it's possible that is true for most other large companies.
- pietrofmaggi 15y agoThey keep them till last week. The last news I read was about 1500 layoffs: http://www.fiercewireless.com/europe/story/nokia-siemens-cuts-1500-motorola-staff-gsm-and-wimax-teams-hit-first/2011-08-05 http://www.fiercewireless.com/europe/story/nokia-siemens-cut...
