RIM axes 2000 jobs, changes managers in effort to halt decline

Only a month after a disgruntled employee accused RIM’s managers of failing to make bold decisions, the latter have responded by boldly sacking 11 percent in their workforce. The corporate says it’ll notify affected employees in North America and a few other countries this week. It also announced loads of changes to its executive team, with Thorsten Heins taking over the expanded role of COO, Product and Sales. Other personnel changes were generally confined to sales, marketing and operations, which leaves us wondering what, if anything, will change inside the way RIM comes up with new products.
