Effective immediately, 900 jobs have been cut at Plantronics. That means 19% of employees don’t have to go home but they can’t stay at their cubes. Bluetooth headsets are to blame. It seems that the company fell way short of sales expectations in that category and then there is the whole worldwide money slump we seem to be in. Plus, the Plantronics’ bloggers lounge CES ‘09 must have cost ‘em a penny or two. After all, there was two couches and a couple of folding chairs. Next year, it’s probably just going to be the folding chairs if they sponsor the area though.










Plantronics still can’t be beat for great wireless telephone office headsets. They need to keep working on that or get their R&D working more on the Bluetooth division. The 925 is a great Bluetooth headset, but there is a ton of competition out there.
