近年科技巨头裁员计划盘点

RIM公司（Research In Motion，RIM）

裁员日期：2011年7月

裁员人数：2000人

裁员前总员工人数：19,000人

目前总员工人数：“超过”17,000人

股价：下跌58%

    由于黑莓手机（BlackBerry）制造商RIM公司的业务增长较为缓慢，谷歌公司（Google）和苹果公司(Apple)持续赶超，形成了智能手机市场两家独大的局面。如今的RIM正为其在智能手机领域保有一席之地而奋战。

    一年前，为了削减成本， 公司裁员10%，但尽管如此，上个季度，RIM甚至连已经降级的预期目标都未能实现，甚至出现大规模亏损。公司新任CEO托斯滕•海因斯承认，公司需要进行“战略性变革”，变革的形式可能是更大规模的裁员，甚至可能出售部分业务。

    虽然全新黑莓10操作系统得到了好评，但要到2012年底才能正式上市。到时，苹果公司可能已经推出了其下一代iPhone，而谷歌将会更新安卓系统（Android）新版本。

Research In Motion

Dates: July 2011

Layoffs: 2,000

Layoffs: 19,000

Headcount now: "More than" 17,000

Stock change: Down 58%

    BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is struggling to stay relevant as Google and Apple's smartphone duopoly continues to outpace RIM's relatively puny growth.

    Despite laying off 10% of its workforce about a year ago to cut costs, RIM missed its own reduced expectations last quarter and swung to a sizable loss. New CEO Thorsten Heins acknowledged that "substantial change" is needed, which could come in the form of more layoffs -- or even a sale, he conceeded.

    Though the new BlackBerry 10 operating system is getting early positive reviews, it won't be available until the end of 2012. By then, Apple will have released its latest iPhone, and Google will have updated to a new version of Android.
