发帖数: 1630 | 4 RIM begins laying off high-level staff: source
Research In Motion Ltd.’s (RIM-T13.690.030.22%) new CEO Thorsten Heins has
begun getting rid of high-level staff at the troubled smartphone giant,
according to a source close to the company.
Ahead of RIM reporting fourth-quarter and year-end financial results on
Thursday after markets close, a source with knowledge of Mr. Heins’ actions
said RIM executives at the senior vice-president and vice-president levels
had been told they no longer had jobs on Thursday.
“Lots of high level people within RIM were let go today,” this person said
. “Quite a few. Big shake up.”
Sales and marketing staff, which were targeted for layoffs in the summer,
have been targeted yet again, according to this person.
Few have expected RIM’s results to be good. The only question analysts had
were how bad the results would be and what changes Mr. Heins was beginning
to implement at the smartphone maker, which has lost market share to Apple
Inc. and Google Inc.’s Android platform.
RIM said when it announced its third-quarter earnings that it expected to
see fourth-quarter revenues of between $4.6-billion and $4.9-billion,
earnings per share of between $0.80 and $0.95, and a gross margin of
approximately 38 per cent.
The Waterloo, Ont.-based technology company also said it expected to ship
between 11 million and 12 million smartphones.
Bay Street and Wall Street analysts in recent weeks have been universally
bearish on the company, with many forecasting that RIM would miss its
earnings guidance and announce that BlackBerry sales were slowing.
Several analysts have also raised other issues, either through an analysis
of long-term trends or through channel checks. Some have pointed out that
the strong overseas growth that has carried RIM through recent quarters may
be slowing, and that demand seems to be slowing for RIM’s current crop of
“aging” BlackBerry 7 smartphones, such as its flagship touch screen
BlackBerry Bold 9900.
“The company is on a declining trajectory and there is little reason to
think this is going to change with the current strategy,” wrote BGC
Financial L.P. technology analyst Colin Gillis in a note to clients this
week. “Our take is that customers view the brand as yesterday’s phone, and
(mobile application) developers are not building for the platform.” |
