NEWS Storage giant Iomega is slashing between 800 and 1,100 jobs worldwide after reporting a second quarter loss of $35.9m, compared with profits of $40m for Q2 2000. Revenues for the quarter fell 39 per cent to $184.1m, down from the $303.6m it reported 12 months ago. According to reports, the Iomega board recommended shareholders support a one-for-five reverse stock split in an attempt to attract more investors. The company blamed the drop in revenues on poor sales of its Zip and Jaz storage devices.
