Both computer maker Dell and technology giant Motorola are looking to firm up their bottom lines by reducing the size of their workforces. Motorola revealed in an SEC regulatory filing that it will cut an additional 2,600 positions, bringing the total number of jobs it has cut since the start of 2007 to about 10,000. In the meantime, Dell says it plans to cut more positions on top of the 8,800 it has already put on the chopping block as the company looks to reduce its expenses by as much as $3 billion by 2011.
