I’m sure women will be stoked to have Apple relocate them to a state that could kill them.

I’m sure that the Title IX people will be very excited to hear about the disparate impact of this decision.

This is the most willfully ignorant thing I’ve read in a long time.
Bullshit. In California you have rights. In Texas they have the explicit right to deny you a lifesaving abortion. The degree of human rights you have used to be generally the same state by state until roe was killed

You’re spare parts bud.
Siri has a quality control team? What do they do all day?
Emailing the funniest ones to each other?
They’ve heard some pretty good ones from me on bad days I bet lol
Yeah I’m not in favor of constructive dismissal, but maybe these layoffs are justified….
But if this is how it is WITH quality control… 😬
I can all but guarantee you team was understaffed, overworked, constantly asked up the chain for time and resources to automate things, and was consistently ignored.
Apple spokesperson confirmed that the team, which listens to recordings of Siri interactions to make sure it responded appropriately, will “have the opportunity to continue their role with Apple in Austin.”
“have the opportunity”
So a job you could do anywhere, wants you to do it somewhere else?
Almost 2x the amount going to the people who fuck off is obscene lmao.
You can move for 7k or quit for ~12.5k
Fuck you Apple, enjoy your suicide nets and spyware/POS OS
Tesla did the same thing, and failed miserably when the majority of its workforce threatened to quit. Or at least thats what I read. Hopefully Apple fails too.
Although it’s a manual QA team. Of the folks in engineering with leverage, manual QA teams have the least. It’s the department that is one of the easiest to backfill.
Tesla has a QA team?!
That’s the point, this is just constructive dismissal.
Fired
For those that do relocate, Bloomberg writes they’ll be given $7,000 stipends, while Apple will offer the others four weeks of severance plus another week’s worth per year that they worked, as well as six months of health insurance.
It’s a scumbag move to try and frame this as anything other than a layoff, but this seems fairly decent of Apple. Admittedly, I’m not sure how this compares to other severance packages though - can someone give context on how this measures up?
Idk man, whenever I see severance pay it’s usually for at least one full year.
In what non-US country is this the case?
You can get severance pay in the US, it’s just written into the contract individually, so it is rather rare outside of the C-Suite
Because what Siri needs is less quality.
So move to a place that will strip your human rights away if you’re a woman or be laid off.
Nice.
Not to mention if you’re trans. The thought of moving to Texas is terrifying.
all my homies hate
applebillionaires.Im sure they have some grand plan for the investors how many jobs they can replace with AI bullshit to increase those sweet-sweet numbers.
Sandiego is just way too expensive.
And Texas is way too fascist.
Plus it’s Austin, none of the cheap house benefits (unless you’re coming from California money), all of the high property tax downsides (and almost of the social benefits of said taxes).
That is not a concern for capitalism.
People just folded like soggy tortillas when the state and federal governments implemented the laws that allowed women to be killed. They folded by allowing these megacorporations to accrue dragon’s hoard levels of wealth and by allowing lobbying to continue to exist. My sympathies are all but non-existent. People are allowing this type of stuff to happen to themselves because they think it won’t happen to them.
You’re just as guilty friend, you’re a people too. Or do you reserve your disdain for others?
I go out and take a stand against the police when protests happen in my area. I also don’t whine about the government on social media, pretending that it will make any difference whatsoever.
But you do whine about people on social media, pretending that it will make any difference whatsoever.
