2,600 Motorola employees got an early termination notice today, bringing the total number of Motoworkers disemployed in the past 15 months to 10,000. [Chicago Tribune via DSLReports]
This is a test contextual ad for the SHOPPING category. It should appear on all SHOPPING entries, unless the subcategory has its own ad.

Early termination eh?
Is there a fee associated with that?
Its neat how they fire people in even numbers!
@RamV10
Zing!
Bet there CEO got a big bonus for it....
Based on my crappy Motorola cell phone I'm not surprised. I can't wait until I'm eligible for a free upgrade so I can go back to Nokia.
@EmperorOfCanada: Its even cooler than that.. 2600 is a frequency used in phone phreaking (think, scamming the phone system for free calls), and is where the 2600Club got its name. (they even have a magazine!)
The 2600 club is infamous for many reasons, but several years ago, fought a court case about posting a link to another site, that had code that cracked DVD's encryption. That leads the way for other sites, (like gawker media) to refuse to take down links to "content" on other sites.
"Early terminiation notice"? What a weird phrase - as opposed to being terminated when they were supposed to be? Which would have been when? Are the people who remain there going to receive a late termination notice?
But why?! The RAZR was sooooooooo successful!!!
