No I don’t work in software and have never professed to have. I picked a figure out of the air which was pretty irrelevant to the point of suggesting cheaper wages can be found in other countries.
No I am thankful I have never set foot inside a ‘tech company’ like IBM or the like and have never had any interest in a career developing software. I prefer using it to make components and products in physical form. Nothing wrong with your profession though but it’s not for me. Again, notice how I’m not putting you down whilst I remain respectful in this debate
IBM builds a lot of hardware, my friend.No I am thankful I have never set foot inside a ‘tech company’ like IBM or the like and have never had any interest in a career developing software.

Lol all you’ve done is act condescending and mock throughout this thread. Not sure if you’ve called anyone a name, but that’s hardly the bar for being respectful.I just have a different opinion to you. If I’ve managed to argue my point without insulting others and labelling their views as ‘ignorant’ then why can’t you do the same? Plenty of others seem to respect my posts judging by the reactions thank you
I’m not saying they can’t replace a few people here and there, because you’re right, no one is indispensable. At some point though, if you’re having a constant churn, or only able to hire B and C level employees, then ya it’s going to effect things. You’re right, I’m sure the guy at Wendy’s would love to work at Apple, that doesn’t make him qualified though.
If you think being in an office is the only thing stopping them, then I think you have it wrong. Apple already outsources its factory work, if they felt there was an advantage to moving software and design overseas, then they would have done that as well.
Lol there’s a lot of things I’d think the average American wouldn’t care about, but somehow do… so don’t sell America short on that one. My point wasn’t about these 80 employees getting fired… the point was if they started outsourcing all their jobs because it was cheaper than paying people who are working from home. You’d have politicians screaming for days about that
Especially the part on Health, where MDs came together with Apple's engineers to collaborate. I thought that part was excellent.
I really missed the announcements, so I say hurry up, instead of being content with slower innovation.
Ah yes, because the best way to recruit talent and motivate your existing workforce is mass layoffs based purely on "sending a message"
I’ve maintained my opinion throughout the thread and done so in much more respectful manner than yourself and one other. You don’t agree with my view and got frustrated I haven’t changed it for your benefit. Not my problem
I’ve always worked in an office where a shirt was a requirement except on a Friday but you still come in smart casual. People don’t walk in wearing shorts and T-shirt’s and sit on meetings with companies like Bentley and Aston Martin, as it wouldn’t be at all appropriate. I’m sure for those people who just have contact with their colleagues and image is not at all important in the general working day, they can wear what they like. When you work in a sector where it’s a mix of internal and external meetings, a level of professionalism is required. It comes back to that old point, it ‘depends on the job’.
