Research In Motion To Cut Workforce — Insert Tasteless Rimjob Joke Here

I’m the first to admit we’ve been a bit hard on RIM here. Sadly, their second quarter earnings didn’t help things. Throw in the fact that their tablet marketshare is lower than Windows 7, a non-tablet OS, and you’ve got more than warning signs, you’ve got a great big red alert.

Now, RIM is cutting 11 percent of their existing workforce, a drastic move. This is doubly so when you remember RIM is also hemorrhaging high level staffers even as it purges the lower ranks. Can the makers of the once-ubiquitous Blackberry device come back from the rear of the pack? Only time will tell, but I’m not buying any stock anytime soon.

    Take it or leave it, their enterprise solution is secure. If they stick to what they know, for a while, they’ll do all right for now. Then, it two years’ time, maybe they’ll be able to start over.
