In their heyday, RIM made a shitload of money and paid REALLLLLY well. L3 support guys were making 6 figures, poo poo like that. So some people working there can't leave because they will be paid a fraction of that if they go anywhere else. Some just drank the kool aid and believe in the company or are so horrible they can't find a job anywhere else.

my wife still has a bb for work. sprint eol'ed it, she just uses it as an easy way to check outlook from her purse with wifi, without opening her laptop. her work has moved to android samsungs but quote" gently caress that" so it remains iphone for personal use and a wifi only bb for outlook. :smdh:
