Palm lay offs confirmedJust yesterday we heard rumblings of struggling Treo-maker Palm’s possible move to let some of its employees enjoy their holidays without having to worry about going to work. Well, it looks like those rumors are now pretty much a reality for a few unfortunate Palm employees. The Wall Street Journal has confirmed that “Palm made some reassignments and staff reductions.”

We’re not sure just how widespread or exactly how many Palm-employees are going to be getting a pink-slip in their inbox, but if Palm’s financial woes are any indicator, we’re going to say it’s not any small number. Our condolences to Palm employees – although, we can’t say this wasn’t all that unexpected.

Here’s a thought. Cut the CEO’s salary and keep a few more employees until at least Q2 of next year. December is a horrible time to find out that you no longer have a job. How’s about it, Palm?
