I’m sure women will be stoked to have Apple relocate them to a state that could kill them.
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
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
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?!
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.
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.
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.
Sandiego is just way too expensive.
And Texas is way too fascist.
That is not a concern for capitalism.
