Comment If you don't trust your employees... (Score 1) 94

Then why the fuck did you hire them?

I'm a knowledge worker with a very in-demand skill, but my productivity doesn't follow a 9-5 work day. If you think for a second that I'm going to adhere to your spyware's idea of what I should be doing, you're on crack. I'll leave in a heartbeat and come back as a consultant at 3x what I'm making now.

Bottom line: if you don't trust the people that work for you, maybe you're the fucking problem.

The world will go on. We won't.

I'm ok with that. Evolution will come up with a new species at the top of the food chain and the process will repeat.

We're too fucking stupid to survive. My recommendation to the next species: don't try to protect the stupid fucking members of your species. Let them die. Don't put safety caps on anything. Don't safety label anything. Don't tell people not to eat Tide Pods. Fuck em. This is how natural selection is supposed to work.

Comment You can see it in their product lines (Score 3, Interesting) 182

Anybody else remember Apple's product lines in the early 90s? What a fucking disaster. What did Jobs do when he came back? Slashed and simplified them. Made it easy to figure out which product you needed.

You can see that happening again now that Jobs is gone. Each product has more and more variations with stupid model numbers.

Enjoy the gravy train while it lasts. I'm writing this on the last MacBook I will ever own (mid 2014 pro) and still have an iPhone 6s I will use until it dies. After that, I'm moving away from Apple products.

It seems that you're living in that Conservative SimplisticFantasyLand where workers can easily acquire new skills while at the same time living decently, raising a family, negotiating with bosses who actually give a bubbly fart about investing in their own employees....Keep reading that Ayn Rand crap, but it fails the Reality World test...BIGLY!

Nope. Just thought and planned ahead. You do know that kids and families are preventable, right?
