RIM Fires 10 Percent of Workforce, Shuffles Managers, Keeps Co-CEOs

Research in Motion is firing 2,000 workers — 10 percent of its workforce — and reorganizing a layer of its top managers. The moves are intended to help the company compete with Apple and Google, whose iOS and Android platforms are overwhelming its once-dominant BlackBerry line. Unaffected by the moves: Co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis.
