Google announces elimination of 4,000 jobs at Motorola, most in the U.S.

Internet giant Google announced Monday the elimination of 4,000 jobs in Motorola two-thirds of them in the U.S., to try to shore up the cell phone maker bought in May.
Google agreed to compensate workers affected with "generous compensation" for dismissal and retraining programs, said a Google spokesman, confirming press reports. The "strategy" aims to "facilitate the return of profits in the unit cell phone" Motorola said.
