Perhaps they could make rooms with Mac users so they can see what people are doing and why adding more emoji's to the OS isn't really helpful.
How is it not helpful? A of all, they don't add more emojis — there's a part of Unicode which is developed outside of Apple and all they do is design their implementations of new emojis when those are released. Same thing with glyphs and other non-alphabetic shapes and things. They implemented them about 15 years after they made their debut on Japanese phones. They've been implemented in MacOS/iOS for the last ~8 years or so because they're popular and everyone uses them in every other OS. Do you literally want to not be able to communicate with other platforms because you can't see what they're writing in emoji?
But yeah it totally prevents them from doing anything else right?
Apple's hiring process seems to go something like this: Come up with an idea. Implement the idea. Become successful with the idea. Apple hires you and your idea if it aligns to their goals.
Apple hires people who don't actually need to work for Apple.
I think this is one of Apple's secret weapons that other corporations have difficulty grasping the concept of.
Those Apple layoffs they keep talking about in the automotive division, I can not help but to think about what Elon was says about the people Apple was hiring away from Tesla at the time. Elon said Apple was getting the people Tesla did not want and were not the best people. I am starting to believe Elon, Apple was grabbing people so fast they did not realize what they got and over time figured out these people were not the best of the best. Layoff are not always about downsizing or restructuring, those are convenient reasons to get rid of people which are not measuring up.
Nice piece of fiction you've written. Got any sources? Because here in real life Apple's hiring process is on of the most challenging in the business. Articles have been written about how difficult it is.
All this story tells us is that outsiders still have no idea what is going on inside Apple with regards to a car project. Everything is conjecture.
As a person who has worked in High Tech for over 30 yrs and been on the inside of a number of fast growing companies and experience the hiring, firing and layoff of people my sources is my personal experience with the hiring process. As well as hiring a significant number of people and having to let them go for various reason. Even in companies who have tough interview processes people get hire who should never been hired that is the simple fact.
To this point, it would not surprise me Apple hired a bunch of people from a number or sources to fill the automotive division, keep in mind this was not a core competence of Apple so they were most likely grabbing up people and people got hire since they were friends of people Apple already hired. Eventually Apple figure out these people where not as good as they hoped. Trust me, if a person is really good at what they do, companies find a place for them, they will not let them go, since they know they can learn new things and contribute elsewhere. It is very costly to let someone go and try to hire a new person. The default position is always to keep someone can give them the chance to do something else. I personally changed roles in companies 5 times and just made another change a few months ago. Companies hang on to good people.
