  • Apple TV+ 'The Morning Show' renewed for a third season

    welshdog said:
    If you like non-stop, way over the top, over-acted anger, with dialogue consisting of every sentence containing F•••, F•••, F•••, you'll love The Morning Show. I hope the new showrunner can get a handle on these drama kings and queens (actors, writers, directors, and producers), then this could actually turn out to be an award-winning show. And yes, I've watched every episode, more to laugh at it than admire it, but I can see redemption if others feel the same. Who am I kidding, America loves this crap!

    You've never worked in US TV news have you?
    Or any other kind of newsroom, for that matter.

    My rotary wall phone still works, for the record. Can even call out.

  • French media talks to Apple management in Apple Park tour

    Might as well do that now...Apparently, nobody wants to work in Apple Park. They'd rather sit at home and "work" while doing dishes, laundry, etc and then claim its not safe to go into a building. 

    Pretty cynical and archaic view of working from home. As someone who now works half time from home, I tend to work more hours on home days. If there's any laundry time, it's shorter than the conversations I have in-office at the coffee maker – and I assure you those are not the insightful conversations office designers fantasize about.

  • Whistleblower casts doubt on Apple's claims that it doesn't silence employees

    Apple must stop encouraging employees to discuss openly compensation/benefits or non-job related issues. It only creates bad feeling,unhappy and jealousy among employees when they find what others making in compensation and they are not with out understanding further the truth, why.
    I make no judgment about working for Apple. It's obviously a great gig for thousands of people. Arguing that it's bad for morale to find out the company might be treating you and many employees in similar situations unfairly, though, is utterly missing the point. Your work supports your employer, and rightly so because that's why they pay you, but it's not your moral duty to support your employer's actions just because the company pays you to work there; your moral duty is to support you. Historically, that has meant also supporting your fellow employees, not management.
