Lenovo Confirms New Layoffs, Says Less Than 2 Percent Employees Affected Globally

 

Lenovo has confirmed the latest round of layoffs in the company, saying that it’s part of the “ongoing strategic integration between Lenovo and its Motorola” smartphone business. In a statement, Lenovo claimed that the new layoffs only impact 2 percent of the entire 55,000 employees globally. Unfortunately, the Chinese company hasn’t revealed many details about the layoffs.

Droid-Life in a report claims that the new layoffs mostly impacts Motorola. It adds that over 50 percent of Motorola’s existing employees based in the US have been asked to leave the company. It cites a 20-year veteran of Motorola who reportedly claimed that he was part of the layoffs. The report also says that over 700 employees out of the current 1,200 Moto employees have been laid off.

Notably, the new layoffs are reportedly not the first job cuts for Motorola employees, as Chicago Tribune previously claimed that the company saw layoffs in August as well as October last year.

Lenovo in a press statement also gave reasons for the new layoffs and said it is a part of “resource action impacting less than two percent of its approximately 55,000 employees globally.”

“The majority of the positions being eliminated are part of the ongoing strategic integration between Lenovo and its Motorola smartphone business as the company further aligns its organization and streamlines its product portfolio to best compete in the global smartphone market,” added Lenovo.

The Chinese company added that it’s also adjusting other areas of business as part of a “continued effort to manage costs, drive efficiency and support ongoing improvement in overall financial performance.”

Lenovo further said, “While these actions are never easy, they are a necessary part of our continued efforts to ensure long-term, profitable growth across all of our businesses.”

On the rumours about Lenovo shifting the Motorola headquarters away from Chicago, the company said, “Lenovo is absolutely committed to Chicago and we plan to maintain our Motorola Mobility headquarters there.”
