One person familiar with the company's plans said the layoffs may cut even deeper than that. RIM has about 16,500 employees worldwide, down already from a peak a few years ago of 20,000. The next round is layoffs is said to be planned for around 01 June, a day before RIM's first quarter ends on 02 June, but some expect the announcement even earlier.

It is understood that the layoffs, including executive departures, will sweep across departments, ranging from senior positions in RIM's legal division to human resources, finance, sales and marketing.
