It is sadto see Motorola state. It used to pay good money. since 2001, due to bad management, things took a bad turn. I feel sorry for people who work for Motorola

It's really sad because Motorola used to be considered the best (back when walkie-talkies were hot, and cell phones were called bricks). There were two plants in the town I grew up in - Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and everybody wanted a job there; they paid decent money, and everyone knew they'd be there forever. I'm not sure what year it was (maybe 1998), as I moved out of state, but both plants are now closed.

Recent Layoff Tells/Reviews on Motorola

Motorola layoffs
about 4 months ago

The company hasn't confirmed the total number of employees that were laid off but it is certain that many employees have been made redundant lately. We are still expecting more layoffs to come as the economy doesn't seem to be turning back to normal.
We just read in local newspaper that our management is planning for further 4000 layoffs in second quarter. During November and December, we got to see 1000+ employees leaving out of door. I think that the recession has taken down overall industry - and we have more people than others so !

Its sad WHO gets laid off, they make the decisions from so high up that it is always the wrong people...I sat next to someone who played on facebook all day and takes loads of personal calls, and has little work, yet I saw people go who did a full's day work and cared about the company, and perhaps would have taken pay cuts, etc...
