Lenovo is letting go of more people as the company works towards streamlining its mobile phone business. While the technology company claims the new round of layoffs less than two percent of its approximately 55,000 employees, it has already let go of around 3,200 employees last year. The layoffs Lenovo says is “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.” At the same time, Lenovo says it still intends to keep the Motorola Mobility headquarters in Chicago, striking down speculation that they plan to move staff to North Carolina with Lenovo’s other offices.
