Comment on RIM to cut 40% of workforce as another top exec resignsparent

Seems very feasible if they are positioning themselves to be acquired. With 40% of your workforce gone you no longer have a business, you just have a bunch of assets. I would be surprised if they are still and independent, publicly traded company by the end of 2012.

Unfortunate, they had a lot of smart people working for them, but the dual-ceo structure ensured they would never be decisive enough to take big risks on innovation.

Some people might argue you have 40% less assets. ( But I get where you're coming from.. )

SAP seems to be doing pretty well with Co-CEO's
