Motricity, the mobile content/technology firm, told employees today that it will make an announcement regarding layoffs as early as March 3, according to a source citing a letter sent to employees. The letter, sent by Motricity’s CEO Ryan Wuerch today, said that the company did not have any more information for employees regarding layoffs following a report that as many as 200 jobs could be cut and that it is considering moving its headquarters out of Durham, NC to Bellevue, Wash. The letter said an announcement could come as early as the first of next week.
