The bad news for HTC keeps rolling in. The Verge learned today that the company has laid off about thirty employees and contractors out of its HTC America division. That division has a total of around 150 employees and contractors, so the total amounts to about twenty percent of the workforce. As often happens, the employees and contractors were let go at the end of the day on Friday and sources tell The Verge that the layoffs affected multiple departments. The company confirmed the layoffs — though not the exact number — in a statement to The Verge. The statement is rather long, and it is as upbeat as it is defensive, characterizing the "reduction in force" as a "decisive action ... to streamline and optimize our organization and improve efficiencies after several years of aggressive growth."

 

This really sucks for HTC. I hope they can eventually pull themselves out of their financial problems. They are making some great phones, but the problem is that people just aren't buying them. Why? I have no idea...because they're great phones.

Hoping they get bought by Lenovo at this point.

 

Lenovo's money and quality + HTC's designs = oh god.

samsung and apple phones are expensive and they sell like crazy too so I don't think that is the problem, I think HTC just doesn't have a good reputation atm
