RIM Working Overtime

**BThunderW** · 01-13-2013, 12:12 AM

Just more proof that RIM is working hard to get BB10 launch perfect. This pic was taken on Saturday at 4pm and parking lot is full. I asked one of the guys on StockTwits to take a pic as he lives near there.

These guys are machines!

Kidding, thats cool. The boys and girls are due for some real praise soon!!
BB10, Believe it! I'm sure these workers do!

Very nice! Kudos to them! Which office is Thorstens?

haha

They say warren buffet use to physically visit companies to determine if they are investment worthy - looking for signs such as paper wasting, watercolor chatter, and I'm pretty sure a full house on a weekend at 4pm would definitely contribute to being investment worthy!!! Go RIM!!

Yea Gadway tweeted about working late last night with someone else and Clewley and how they loved working with such a great team of people.Seems they are just as excited for BlackBerry10 as everyone else.

Well, the folks at QNX are working over time too. Check out this article:

RIM reaping - Technology - Ottawa Business Journal

Folks there have been working 6.5 days a week for launch of BB10.

There are several buildings on the RIM campus that are staffed 24/7/365, regardless of the time of year or release of software/devices - especially in Operations/Networking.

sure, but won't fill the parking full during on call periods.

Good to know they are working hard. Hope we see the fruit of their work in the software/hardware

Nope, that's at Phillip and Columbia. It's RIM 3

That's RIM 3, as viewed from the university on ring road

I think they are celebrating "Blame someone else day" together...no?

BIZARRE JANUARY HOLIDAYS

**Techno-Emigre** · 01-13-2013, 01:31 PM

Well when I think how much I look forward to vindication when BB10 proves an object of desire of former naysayers, I can't imagine how much RIM employers look forward to it. They have endured not only outsiders dissing BlackBerry, but OUR lack of appreciation and complaining. I get frustrated with not being able to do something and lose sight of the many brilliant aspects about both BB 7 and PB 2.1

**rjshahan** · 01-13-2013, 02:47 PM

While I know people at RIM are working all hours of the day and weekend on BB10. I should point out that the section of the parking lot in this picture is always full as it is the closest spot to the University of Waterloo and many students (myself included) take advantage of the free parking while on campus.

That building is RIM 3 which is an R&D building and has nothing to do with operations.

**hsxu** · 01-13-2013, 03:14 PM

That building is essentially the closest one to the university, students park there on weekends. Nothing new..

Investment-worthy companies only chatter in oils!

Perhaps I am being ignorant, but how many students come to universities on weekends? Especially at the beginning of a semester, like it is right now? I know students come on weekends for exams/midterms, but those generally happen in the middle-end of the semester.
