Blackberry to lay off 250 employees in Waterloo

BlackBerry has said that it will lay off another 250 employees at its product testing facility in Waterloo. It is a continuation it seems of the firm’s downsizing. Last year some 5,000 people were laid off at Blackberry. The company is telling news agencies that  it is “part of the next stage of our turnaround plan to increase efficiencies and scale our company correctly for new opportunities in mobile computing. We will be as transparent as possible as those plans evolve.”
