BlackBerry maker Research In Motion is cutting 2000 jobs as part of a cost savings plan announced last month and is shuffling some senior executives.

Telstra’s latest round of job cuts are unlikely to be the last for the current financial year, a union representative for the telco has warned.

A Labor senator has slammed Telstra's reported plan to slash 6000 jobs, saying the telco giant and other big companies owe it to the government to keep people in work.

Telstra Corporation says it has not confirmed how many jobs will be cut under its plan to simplify its business, as unions demand more information from the telco giant.

Hewlett-Packard Co. today said it is cutting 9,000 jobs, but also plans to hire 6,000 new workers as part of shift to highly automated data centers that rely less on people with hands-on IT skills and more on those with sales and delivery expertise.
