Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

BlackBerry churn rate at 94 percent with T-Mobile
Normally when we report churn rates, it�s with respect to wireless carriers, and not the devices that run on them. But in this case we�re talking about BlackBerry, which according to information first leaked by Tmo News, is seeing a mass exodus from its platform and devices, even when there is incentives to keep customers in their camp.

According to the leaked sales document, 94 percent of T-Mobile customers trading in their BlackBerry devices for an upgrade are opting for a non-BlackBerry device as their new smartphone. Using these numbers, that essentially means BlackBerry has a 6 percent customer satisfaction rate. Simply put, companies simply don�t and won�t survive on a 6 percent satisfaction rate.

This information comes after T-Mobile launched a promotion guaranteeing any customer trading in a working BlackBerry device a $250 credit towards a new BlackBerry 10 smartphone (see our full review of the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 here). However, the numbers don�t lie, and 94 out of 100 customers are opting for $50 less in credit and breaking their CrackBerry addiction for an iOS, Android, or even Windows Phone device. T-Mobile hasn�t released out of this 94 percent the share of sales among iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

But what is known is that even the once most hardcore BlackBerry users have apparently grown tired of the platform. Furthermore, as more companies are dumping their expensive BlackBerry Enterprise Servers for Exchange (supported by iOS, Android, and Windows Phone), BlackBerry�s stronghold on business customers has quickly diminished.

that's p brutal even for blackberry

i very briefly worked at a firm where they refused to actually fire people

they would just transfer you to a non-job with no duties and a cubicle far away from your old friends and coworkers. then they waited for some combination of shame and boredom to drive you out of the firm

they ended up with hundreds of deliberately-"forgotten" employees who just refused to leave. after that they moved to a different "rightsizing" mechanism which was even crazier but that's another story

oh a government worker I see
