It's nice to see RIM having so many positions available. The 2000 layoffs should be absorbed rather quickly as their is an influx of demanding and interesting positions available at RIM globally. RIM is currently expanding quickly in Ottawa as well. There is just so much going on behind the scenes at RIM making for a very interesting year
I like what is going on at RIM now!... Playbook 2.0 is awesome .. and only will get better with each OTA software upgrade .. and the new bb10 phones will be amazing!!! ...
Not getting it, 4 of 6 are from south Asia, and 2 of them are in fact new immigrants. For the same cost of hiring any of them, RIM could hire 5 or more over there. This is not to mention, emerging markets in Asia are the best hope RIM has, RIM should rationalize its cost structure and divert much needed resources to where there is still growth.
