  • Spotify lays off 6% of workforce, loses content chief

    CEOs don't choose to lay off employees because it's "difficult". They do it because it's easy. It's the fastest way to make the numbers look better. Notice that Ek is trying to spin it like the higher number of employees was holding him back from doing his best work. Completely ridiculous. 
    Of course it’s Apple’s fault that he chose to add employees at 2X the revenue growth. On the other hand Apple, the company that could more easily have afforded to do so, remained conservative with their hiring. Any logical person would have known the pandemic volume was temporary and would not continue indefinitely.

  • Former patent attorney sues Apple over harassment & discrimination

    Yes, since this is Apple, all of these people must be lying thieves just out to line their pockets.  There is no other possible explanation.

    Her quoted statement reads like someone with some issues that have nothing to do with Apple.

  • Apple chipmaking stumbles led to less impressive iPhone 14 Pro

    It sounds like some of the folks the got from Intel were trying to turn Apple into Intel with hot chips that can replace a room heater.

  • Australia Apple Store workers go on strike over conditions and pay

    "weekends, consecutive days off, set rosters, set days of work, 12-hour breaks between shifts, [and] overtime rates."

    My goodness. It’s retail. The industry is at the mercy of consumer behavior and evenings after work and weekends when people are off is when people come to buy. Maybe they should make a big part of their pay a version of profit sharing. They get a share of profits from the hours they are working, based on store volume, how many customers they assisted, how may reviews they received, and their ratings from their customer’s reviews. Work busier times, more often and make customers happy and you make significantly more money.

  • Australia Apple Store workers go on strike over conditions and pay

    This is why I have a hard time supporting unions. It’s why the thought of having to deal with employees again makes me run for the hills. Commission with a small base salary or commission only and good benefits is the way to go. Don’t want to work when I need you most because we are busy then, no worries, someone else will be making twice your pay for showing up. Or structure the pay like hospitals. Weekend and night shifts pay significantly more. Then hire people for those shifts and allow them to have priority pick for weekday shifts.
