'Troubled' BlackBerry maker RIM plans to offload 2000 jobs: Report | | BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM) is reportedly preparing to eliminate around 2,000
jobs globally. Several people close to the company revealed that the next round
of layoffs is said to be planned for around June, a day before RIM's first quarter
ends on June 2. According to The Globe and Mail, some expect the announcement
to made even earlier. A RIM spokesperson declined to comment on 'rumours and speculation,'
but pointed towards comments made by CEO Thorsten Heins and RIM chief financial
officer Brian Bidulka on the last quarterly earnings call. On that call in late
March, the two executives said they would focus on operating metrics and efficiency
with a streamlining that targets savings of about one billion dollars by the end
of fiscal 2013. According to the paper, there has long been the impression among
people close to RIM that radical measures have become necessary. Such a dramatic
cut to the work force, which comes on top of 2,000 layoffs last year, would reshape
the company, making it leaner as it tries to push out a successful new crop of
BlackBerry devices, called BlackBerry 10, on which the company's future depends.
