Extraneous [sic] edits is a disgusting way of discrediting one's habit.quote:I can’t help but think that the problem for Apple is that they’ve grown so large that they’ve wound up hiring a lot of people who aren’t a good fit for Apple, and that it was a mistake for Apple to ever hook up a company-wide Slack. They probably crossed that bridge decades ago. quote:Companies are not democracies, but the employees writing these letters sure seem to think Apple is one. It’s not, and if it were, the company would sink in a snap. tl;dr gently caress this scab quote:Apple’s new “three days on site” policy wasn’t a request for comments — it was a decision — and Tim Cook’s company-wide letter already leaves room for individual teams to adjust it to their own needs. Yeah, like hiring that FB rear end in a top hat was a decision by management too

i was briefly excited about dolby atmos apple music but after flipping through https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/music-spatial-audio-with-dolby-atmos/pl.u-B9ErVivdVdK the conclusion is that most of the atmos enabled artists suck kraftwerk in 3d is neat though

eh there’s some bangers in there. not sure what the spatial effect is actually doing though (stereophonic sound is already “3D”) e: I listened to some more I guess I hear it now. bob marleys “exodus” is a good demonstration track. it turns out there’s actually quite a few songs & albums have been given an atmos remaster not just this playlist.

About 10 years ago I had a manager who was big into remote work. I was looking at buying a house 90 minutes from the office and we had worked out a deal where I'd come into the office once a week, concentrate all "in person necessary" meetings on that day and everything else would be done via Skype (at the time). Things went great for 4 months. I loved the new house, the new locale and the new arrangement. Then my boss decided to gently caress off and work somewhere else and my NEW boss said "I want you here 5 days a week". Very old school guy. I was frustrated but I had a choice -- go in 5 days a week or quit. I "negotiated" work from home on Fridays and drove the 3 hours the other four days and did that for probably 8-9 years until the pandemic hit. At no point did I think starting a petition to change corporate structure or priority would be a good idea or would have a prayer of working. I took the job knowing that the expectation was that I'd be in the office 5 days a week. The manager had created a carve-out based on his discretion and when he left, the logic followed that the carve-out wasn't going to be honored by the new boss unless they wanted to. They didn't want to so I had a choice -- stay or go. These Apple employees are the worst people. They took a deal, then decided the deal no longer worked for them and are trying to force management to change corporate policy and direction to suit them. It's a company. The company can decide how they want to do things. Companies aren't generally collectives. I am fine with employee collective action as a way to drive corporate change but this isn't a case of exploitation or bad policies. These people took a deal at a company with a long and storied history of office working. Apple wants people in the office and goes to great lengths to make their offices agreeable to employees. These dipshits can't just decide they don't like their deal anymore and the company has to change for them. My wife said, and I agree with, that you don't want to be a minority remote group in a majority office work company. It's not great for anybody. Much of the intentional changes that a company puts in place to foster office-worker cohesion and culture are just lost on remote folks. It's often not even worth the effort to bring them into the fold. The pandemic turned that on its head for 18 months and many companies shifted forever (my company did). Many of these companies, however, want to return to what they feel made them successful. it sounds crazy but the pandemic was the best thing for my work situation. No more three hour commutes, saved money on food, etc. The work-from-home situation lasted until I told them I was quitting, which I did at the end of May. unrelated: These iOS 15 changes look great. Do I take the plunge and go beta? I always regret it, yet I always do it....

The Management posted:deals are made to be renegotiated. there’s no “you agreed to it so it’s forever” rule. Very true. But if you signed a contract or agreement regarding how and where your employer wants or expects you to work, you can't just say "I don't like this anymore. It must change" and then expect it to work out super well for you, I guess. That's the part that happens *before* you endorse the deal. Once you sign up for something, you are committed to following through. If not, you shouldn't have signed up for it. Not sure how these folks were hired or what they signed so who knows. Honoring a commitment or contract doesn't make you a "corporate bootlicker" though.
