Seems like something that WFH would solve without having to upend so many employee lives.

And so begins (continues?) the enshittification of Apple. Siri is dumb as a bag of rocks. These people should all get raises.

Siri is dumb as a bag of rocks, but give them raises? They're lucky they haven't been fired.

Apple's being enshittified a thousand ways, but Siri has always been shit.

I've heard that the original Siri, before Apple bought it, was good?

You make a fair point

What a ridiculous comment, in your opinion Siri is bad so the Siri team should get a raise? That aside, Siri has only gotten better in time, yeah she ain’t Jarvis but come on now

Furthermore, having your employees move to a different location isn’t enshittification, this move doesn’t affect their products at all which is what enshittification is all about, making product changes for the worse. Yeah this move sucks for employees because fuck Texas but that’s not the same thing.

Enshittification, also known as platform decay, is the pattern of decreasing quality of online platforms that act as two-sided markets. Enshittification can be seen as a form of rent-seeking

I didn’t want to get into the increasing bugginess of their software in this thread. I’ve been an Apple user for 17 years, and it’s become infuriating. AppleCare support is also FAR worse than it used to be.
