CBC:
New details are emerging about the rowdy behaviour of two Research In Motion executives who were fired for disrupting an intercontinental flight — including that they managed to chew their way out of restraints after being handcuffed by crew members.
Clearly these two worked on the PlayBook. What else could possibly account for such frustration.
Jesus they REALLY just can’t catch a break can they?
If the descriptions are true, the treatment they got was less than they deserve. You could call that a break.
They only got rowdy when they found out the only inflight entertainment were Playbooks and nothing else.
This is also true. So they chewed through the restraints like animals. Maybe that’s part of the corporate culture there? Eat your restraints or be eaten….
I can think of one other position at RIM that would cause more frustration: the PR staffers who have to spin/clean up after Lazaridis and Balsillie make statements to the press.
