What are the chances layoffs will continue tomorrow?
Ricoh layoffs today across the board!
Had a emergency meeting knew that was bad. Akira did not paint a good picture when the company did not meet it goals last quarter. Today guys were let go and we were told all thru the company all divisions.

Toshiba? Really?
Ricoh really showing its desperation here. Toshiba mfp market share % anyone? Any Fortune 500 CIO out there standardizing on Toshiba laptops? Really fitting nicely with the Ricoh brand: Anything for a buck. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b-KhqIrpU_s — read more
