Siri has a quality control team? What do they do all day?

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

Google is dropping the Assistant team, and Amazon is dropping the Alexa team. This sounds a lot like Apple is trying to avoid an explicit layoff and forcing employees to quit instead.

Constructive dismissal lawsuit?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. This could have the makings of constructive dismissal. Relocate to a place with vastly different legal protections or be fired? Hmm. Since it also would possibly disproportionately affect female employees, I wonder if some discrimination could also come in to play?

Not a lawyer, just spitballing ideas.
