Last year, Bristol-Myers Squibb said it was cutting some 4,000 jobs as part of a plan to save $1.5 billion. This morning, the company said it’s planning “an additional $1 billion of cost savings by 2012” — suggesting more jobs could get the ax. The company said details about the plan — which in the upside-down world of corporatespeak is called a “productivity initiative” — would be released by the end of the year.
