  • Anti-union talks continue at Apple Store in Reston, VA

    Good for Apple.

    The only union talk that should be happening is anti-union talk.

    Apple heard the collective dissatisfaction and upped the game tremendously, offering MUCH higher wages and benefits.

    The. only people benefitting from the union - is those running the union.

    What people. don't realize is that companies learn to adapt to these mob tactics.  They will keep you until you are supposed to get a raise and then lay you off while hiring a noob from a job fair. Things like that. Unions are just criminal and bullying-style tactics with a lot of jank going as part of the "negotiations." 

    Please keep these crap unions away from Apple. 

    Next thing you know, you can't get in the Apple store during the holidays because the union employees decided they are worth $30/hour and are on strike.

    It happens to auto workers and telecoms. No thanks. 

    Work an honest job, get paid and honest wage. Don't. game the system and ruin it for everyone. 
    Let them strike. Apple Store employees can be replaced with any kid in college who has been using Apple products since 6 years old lol

  • Twitter staff nearly decimated by Musk's 'extremely hardcore' demand

    People are forgetting one thing

    why did Musk buy this company?

    He didn’t like the one sided biased and filtering of free speech. The old Twitter team likely though Sam Bankman-Fried and all of his donations to a certain D party made him a model Twitter citizen lol

    He is simply cleaning out the people who made Twitter what it was, the exact reason he bought the company, to change it from what it was

    Do you do that by keeping everything the same?

    This is essentially a test from Musk.

    basically he wants the people who would be offended by boss asking them to work hard to leave. Conversely,  The people who don’t mind being asked to world hard is who he wants to keep

    in other words , he is actually getting people who he doesn’t want to leave on their own without having to fire them

    its friggin genius 
    Not genius. He is getting the people who, for various reasons, don’t feel they have a better option. 

    Given the choice, people who are willing to “work hard” don’t extend that willingness to do so for an arbitrary and compulsive boss. The particularly talented and brilliant folks expect to be valued, not given a loyalty test. Those most valuable workers will respond to that test by talking their talents elsewhere. 

    Musk hasn’t filtered out the lazy people. He’s filtered out the people who’ll take the bet that three months is plenty of time to find a better gig and who would prefer to be ahead of the remaining folks who will have to look for a job soon anyway when the company collapses. 
    We will see,

    just managment doing their thing. Elon has succeeded at everything, no reason to think he won’t here 
    He didn't succeed at keeping his wife.

    If you want to keep with the sports team analogies, go read The Damned Utd by David Peace. Very apt.
    Actually, he didn’t want to keep that wife
