Thanks Obama for ruining so many lives in this country.

rim job.

They closed down a plant with 3000 employees the day after the election? hmmm, sounds like there might be a bit more to do with this than just obama winning (although I am sure that did not help)

[Qwackertoo]

oh wow, feel bad for him and the others.

My husband works at a coal fired plant. We are waiting on the decision if it’s staying open or not. obama voters are so stupid. Pretty soon there won’t be anyone working to pay for their obama stash. What do they think is gonna happen then?

[HerrBlucher]

And thanks to those who voted for the Jack Wagon. I wonder how many of those 3k employees did. I only have sympathy for the ones that voted against the commie.

We are going to see this repeated all over the country. And Bush will still get the blame and the idiots will buy it.

[hinckley buzzard]

remember all those firms that were pressured by the whitehouse to hold back layoff notices until after the election? I expect a flood of these reports now that the election is over.

[Lorianne]

These layoffs were reported in August so your friend should not be surpised.

Bam will give ‘em a bailout, he’s a BB kinda of guy.

Bush DOES live in Texas...just sayin...

[TMA62]

Obama and MSM (including Faux) laughs.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Probably laid off and plant closed because they can’t afford the forced 0bamacare. This isn’t even connected to sequestration. We will have a full fledged DEPRESSION before Christmas if sequestration isn’t halted.

[Proud2BeRight]

Obamacare now being the law of the land forever, there will be many job cuts coming.

[Political Junkie Too]

Is it because the Blackberry is a fading platform, and their tablet was too late to make a dent in the market?

At least this thread is a factual bit of first-hand news and not a vanity about garment ripping or one of the two other thread types we have had all day.

RIM closed its plant most likely because it was a poorly run company that is not competing against others. Survival of the fittest, folks. If you can’t compete, you will go out. Blaming Obama for the market’s Invisible Hand is not going to be logical. Likely that the plant would have closed regardless of who won. Who buys blackberry these days?

[Gay State Conservative]

There's no election pending so no hugs from Osama for those 3000 folks.They're just a bump in the road on the way to 100% of the population getting some kind of government check.

[SaraJohnson]

Do you have a source besides your friend to back of this story?

A lot of people are being laid off in preparation for the cost of “free” health care taxes.

[aft_lizard]

Rim has been going down the crapper for the past year, hate to tell you this but Obama had nothing to do with this one. You can blame Apple and Google who have been destroying them for the past couple of years.

[krb]

This indicates that the leaders of RIM adore Obama and hid this reduction in for e until after the election on purpose.

[FreedomForce]

Is it the whole plant or is this info correct?

health insurance

either raise their and/or their employees benefit costs to cover all the mandates, or pay the fines instead, or just cancel all the health plan and send the employees into the government subsidized plan

so be a shnook and raise the employees costs, or be a shnook and throw them onto the government

or get out of the human resources rat race under Obamaccare altogether
