近年科技巨头裁员计划盘点

集成电路供应商AMD

裁员日期：2011年11月

裁员人数：1400人

裁员前总员工人数：11,100人

目前总员工人数：约10,000人

股价：上涨14%

    去年11月，AMD公司宣布裁员约1400人，占总员工人数的10%。作为仅次于英特尔（Intel）的芯片制造商，AMD希望“重组计划”可帮助公司每年节约1.18亿美元运营开支，并使公司可以在低能耗芯片、云计算和新兴市场等方面投入更多资源。

    AMD的重组计划是否有助于其在新市场的竞争，我们将拭目以待。但这家位于加州桑尼维尔市的半导体公司，仍落后于竞争对手英特尔，而在手机领域，许多竞争对手都遥遥领先于AMD。最近一个季度，AMD宣布，因裁员导致的相关费用支出为800万美元。

AMD

Dates: November 2011

Layoffs: 1,400

Layoffs: 11,100

Headcount now: About 10,000

Stock change: Up 14%

    Last November, AMD announced it would lay off about 1,400 employees, or 10% of its workforce. A distant second to chipmaker Intel, AMD hoped the "restructuring plan" would help it save about $118 million in operating costs in one year and allow the company to sink more resources into projects targeting lower power chips, the cloud and emerging markets.

    It's too early to tell whether AMD's restructuring will help it compete in new markets. But the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based semiconductor company is still well behind Intel -- and it's playing catch-up to a slew of competitors in the mobile space. In its most recent quarter, AMD reported charges of $8 million related to the layoffs.
