Flash or not, nothing will change much, 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.
