“This is part of the next stage of our recovery plan to increase efficiency and drive to our company,” said a spokeswoman for BlackBerry, quoted by Reuters.
The company , which last year eliminated thousands of jobs recently suggested that it might could be further cuts.
Last month, BlackBerry reported weak results for its fiscal first quarter, which led to a collapse of 28% in the price of their actions.
Sales of its new line of smartphones have been lower than those provided by experts. The results showed little evidence that the company can recover in the short term share hands market of Apple Inc iPhones and Galaxy of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, and other devices that use the Android operating system Google Inc.BlackBerry, which at March 2 had almost 12,700 full-time workers, said employees were dismissed from the test drive of the new product.
The company recently said he no longer thought to migrate its new BlackBerry 10 operating system to its Playbook tablet, and that the hardware was not powerful enough to deliver an optimal experience to users.
