Blackberry continues its quest for survival as half of its sales team at the headquarters has been laid off.
Cantech Letter cites sources who say that the company’s consumer sales team is “gone” while its “enterprise [sales force] is gutted” too. The UK is said to be next in the line as it seeks further redundancies to slash costs.
BlackBerry confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that “a small number of employees were laid off,” but a spokesperson declined to provide a concrete figure. The Journal claims “several dozen” staff were axed.
Last month, the company announced plans to “explore strategic alternatives” – reports last week suggested the goal is to be sold by November.
