job killing sony

Drowning in red ink, Sony (SNE) has issued thousands of pink sheets this year.

The PlayStation maker told investors in February it would slash 5,000 jobs as part of a broader restructuring that included separating its PC and TV arms.

Sony investors cheered management's efforts to right the ship, driving the company's stock 3.9% higher the day of the layoff announcement.

Despite beating out Xbox in the game console wars, Sony ended up losing a whopping $1.26 billion in the 12 months ending March 31.
