There has been another round of layoffs at BlackBerry. About 100 employees in Waterloo received notice on Monday.
BlackBerry sent 570 News the following statement:
“As previously stated, we are in the second phase of our transformation plan. As such, this week’s employee reductions, demonstrates another step forward to scale our company correctly for new opportunities in mobile computing.
Our evolution as a company is ongoing and is in no way easy, but we are realistic about what is required to move our transformation forward in a timely manner. We will be as transparent as possible as our plans evolve.”
It follows 250 layoffs in late July.
The Globe & Mail is also reporting BlackBerry is scaling back production of
its BlackBerry 10 smartphones by ten per cent.
