RIM Layoffs Arrive
Employees Begin Getting Pink Slips
After product delays, multi-continent unexplained service outages, drunken employee scandals and consistently lackluster product offerings, Research in Motion (RIM) finally decided to shake up their CEO spot, replacing co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie with new CEO Thorsten Heins. However, a consistent lack of quality product in the age of Android and Apple has the company continuing to flounder under new leadership. The company's parade of bad tidings continued this week, as expected layoffs are hitting employees. Expectations are the company could trim 2,000 jobs, but some analysts peg that number to be closer to 6,000.

So Sad.

It's not fun when you lose your rim job.
