Chief People Officer leaves Apple after short 20 month tenure
And before HR I think companies called it ‘personnel’.Alex_V said:
“Human Resources” is such a lovely candy apple. Why would anyone sugar-coat that?DAalseth said:Ngl, I always found the title Chief People Officer more than a little off-putting. She was in charge of Human Resources. No matter how you sugar coat it, that’s what that position was. Giving the job a cute, new agey name just struck me as weird, as trying too hard.I think this is the kind of thing where they keep changing the name because whatever name you give it eventually becomes tainted by the reality of what it is.
The job of HR is to manipulate and control people in order to exploit them to the fullest extent possible to enrich shareholders. Everything else is window dressing.

Apple's ultra-thin OLED iPad Pro fails to spark sales surge
Right, and also maybe the market for the iPad Pro is just a lot smaller than what Apple hoped. Which is fine -- it is what it is.DAalseth said:I have an M1 iPP that I use all day, every day for art, writing, and more. There is however, no reason for me to upgrade. I expect to keep this one running for another 3 to 5 years. Maybe more. Maybe the problem isn’t the new tech, or the cost. Maybe it’s that those of us who need one, have one, and don’t have a reason to upgrade.

I actually upgrade my Mac more often than my iPad these days.
