The job shedding continues at BlackBerry with the news that 300 jobs in Waterloo are gone according to the CBC. When asked for comment, BlackBerry had this to say:
“As previously mentioned, we are in a period of transition and we must focus on enhancing our financial results to be in a better position to compete in this current mobile environment,” BlackBerry spokesperson Rebecca Freiburger wrote in an e-mail to CBC News.
“As such, BlackBerry has implemented an ongoing workforce reduction,” she wrote. “This week’s reduction includes approximately 300 in Waterloo.”
“We recognize our local employees’ hard work on behalf of our company and the difficulty of this news. And we will do everything in our power to treat our employees with compassion, while offering support during this time of transition.”
These jobs were part of the 4500 job cuts that were announced when BlackBerry had a quarter to forget. Best of luck to all those who lost their jobs. I feel for you.
