Remember that in March this year, the company said it would cut more than 12,000 jobs by the end of the year. Sought for comment, the BlackBerry has not responded to the publication of this news.
In a statement sent to CRN Brazil, the BlackBerry states that only “a small number of positions in the North American sales force based in Canada, has been moved to the United States”, so, so, the company may be more aligned with customers. “As a result, about 60 employees were affected, mainly in sales.”
“As I said earlier, we are in the second phase of our transformation plan. As part of this transformation, BlackBerry will continually assess your organization – from top to bottom – to ensure we have the right people with the right skills in the right places to drive new opportunities in mobile computing, “concludes the statement.
