I remember when Motorola was the largest employer in Arizona. This was in the mid-90s. Since then the company has continuously shrunk. Off the top of my head, here's what's happened to it so far:
- Closing down of various divisions (I sit in a former Motorola lab, in fact)
- Portion(s) purchased by General Dynamics
- On Semiconductor spun off
- Freescale spun off
And now the latest:
Motorola is splitting in two.
Amazing.
