Is there anything that RIM doesn’t rank dead last in?

  1. To be fair, Apple was ranked dead last when it was first added too, and this is the same Greenpeace that vandalized HP’s campus at night by painting giant words using children’s finger paint on the roof of one of their main buildings. Greenpeace cares more about what companies say they will do, even if they fail to deliver, than what they are actually doing. Apple used to routinely get low marks with regards to the presence of toxic materials because it refused to disclose its plans, despite the fact that it was years ahead of its competition in phasing out PVCs, BFRs, and the like. While I’m no fan of RIM, I’d take a slap from Greenpeace as a badge of honor.

  2. Who gives a crap-and-a-half what Greenpeace says or thinks… they’re about as useful as Consumer Reports, the Better Business Bureau and the U.S. Government. All talk, no common sense, and completely full of post-consumer-waste.

    Hmm, there must be something. Wait, it will come to me, let me get back to you on that…..

  4. It’s not so much the fact that there are two CEO’s, it’s the amount of hot air they blow.

    Sure there is!  They are pretty high on the lists of “Companies that make shitty tablets” and “Companies that have their head so far up their ass they’re in danger of becoming recursive”.

  6. no surprise rank last, playbok start 2 years ago, 9900 start 3.5 years ago, slow, low efficient , like I said 3 years ago, RIM is old before really grow up.

    Strange culture in RIM, and this culture generate self-destroy political environment.

    In RIM if a new hired person figure out major problem and introduce efficient approach, both manager and his buddy group member will proof their wrong approach works. just like someone point out driving a car is right way, pushing a car is wrong way, then both manager and his buddy group member will hate you, and proof that 3 person can also move the car by pushing it. cheating email will be sent to some vice president, saying like: see, the car moving, pushing a car is a natural part of the process.

    It is very strange company culture and strange company political environment, it promote stealing and cheating skill. RIM’s management may be a typical instance in MBA course.

    This culture deny or steal hardworking team members’ contribution/innovation, generate strange political environment, destroy RIM.

    July 7th 2008 when I start to work in RIM ID group, I found RIM’s CAD skill in ID group is still in low efficient level of 10 years ago, like ID changes can’t be regenerated in mechanical part, so I point out the problem and introduce efficient topdown process, to make sure top level adjustment will always be regenerated in down level.

    But the RIM’s CAD experts wrote email to 3 VPs and successfully make them believe that—–whenever top level adjust, continuously and manually audit final parts is a natural part, means low efficient is a natural part in every RIM’s device design program.

    They abuse their power layoff the only driver, and use 3 person pushing the car, they will keep “continuously and manually audit final parts”.

    “continuously and manually audit final parts” is the mark of not qualified for the position, but in RIM, strange thing happened, they like not qualified person around them, and they are affraid of qualified person in their group, so that no one will point out their wrong approach, so we all know why RIM low efficient, why RIM is in a strange political environment.
