Motorola Mobility (Lenovo) started their layoffs yesterday March 5, 2018. My old boss who I use to work for at Motorola was tapped on the shoulder yesterday. His last day at work will be April 6. I was told by other Motorolans that we are looking at a 50% reduction in the Chicago offices. Sad...

Hey! mHUB Chicago is offering complimentary workspace to former Motorola employees through June 1st. There's a Happy Hour and Tour of mHUB tomorrow at 4:00pm to learn more about the offer! Spread the word!
Any word on DC (data center)?
I was laid off as part of the Resource Action (late 2017) and keep in close contact with my colleagues back in Lenovo. I know that PC roles are impacted by this latest round as well. I'm afraid it's a downward spiral for Lenovo.
Not sure if conclusions can be drawn from this statement or not....
“In late 2017, Lenovo announced a worldwide resource action that would occur over the next several quarters, and impacting less than two percent of its global workforce. This week’s employment reductions are a continuation of that process. We are reducing our Motorola operations in Chicago however this did not impact half of our workforce there and our Moto Z family will continue.”
Per WRAL Techwire
Any rumors on Lenovo PC layoffs or is this limited to Mobility?
