RUMOR: Layoffs at Ricoh’s Sales Division.

There are circulating rumors (on TheLayoff) that Ricoh has just executed a mass layoff in its Sales division, cutting everyone below a certain level. According to the chatter, the cuts are hitting the commercial sales teams hard, while government-sales roles appear relatively insulated because they’re still performing decently. The layoffs seem tied to Ricoh’s broader restructuring in response to weakening demand — a shift that’s disproportionately affecting its field sales workforce.
