The world's second largest computer maker announced yesterday that it would close the doors of a desktop manufacturing plant in Austin, which involves laying-off 900 of 17,500 workers. The company's move is aimed at cutting expenses, which should result in $3 billion savings over the course of the next three years.
The decision is part of a strategy announced last year, with a target of cutting at least 8,800 jobs, or about 10% of its work force. Thus, the computer maker axed 3,200 jobs during the last nine months of the company's fiscal 2008.
