BlackBerry Confirms ‘Small Number of Employees Laid Off Today’

There were rumors late last night that BlackBerry sacked a large number of their sales staff. This was ancillary numbers based on a source that told the Cantech Letter that they suddenly had many friends change on BBM to a different email address from BlackBerry’s sales department. Not exactly a solid fact but it is worrisome. The WSJasked a BlackBerry spokesperson and they said “I can confirm a small number of employees were laid off today,” without providing additional details.

So who really knows what a small number is. Either way BlackBerry is definitely changing things up…
