bc the mistakes WERE made, or at least execution was not as expected, so now they need to prove that they realized their faults and correct the errors.

He keeps switching between Zee10 and Zed10. That has to be on purpose.

Good 2nd Question. Loved it.

Now we know he knew expectations and he knew they were getting out of hand, then why didn't they speak up.

I'm surprised to see Vic Alboini (Jaguar) still involved. I guess he saw more value than he let on, or just wasn't willing to bail at a loss.

I don't suppose Thorsten's answer to his questions satisfied him much.

I'd heard a rumour about possible additional layoffs, but Thorsten just emphasized he wants to protect jobs. I hope the rumour was false.

Edit: this was later posted in the I Support BBRY thread: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2013/07/.../?mod=yahoo_hs

Edit 2: my "hope" above was because I don't like the optics of a CEO's words so quickly being seen as hollow. If this rumour proves true, how does it look when the CEO publicly said in the AGM today that he wants to protect jobs. Sigh.

Losing a few may save more overall, many companies have to do this. They may still be very bloated, especially with the recent death of the PlayBook and any staff working on that product. Since everything is moving away from Air, they may have excess personnel. While I hate to see anyone lose their job, from a business stand point it may be necessary.

If approaching breakeven means a 13 cent loss, then how big of a loss does he expect for q2?

Hopefully someone calls him out for not speaking clearly
