Guess I won't be buying the CMF Phone after all.

Except bosses?

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

Except for manager-level peeps who crave the power and control that comes from dictating how people live their lives under them

It's shame they already turn into the dark side

[–] EndHD@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago

This is disappointing to see - especially since I like a few of their products.

I'm not sure how it is in London, but there's a strong government push to get people to go back to office (the city). Since politics is every politicians side hustle, and a lot of them own commercial real estate that's been tanking post pandemic, I feel like they are forcing companies to bring people back to re-inflate the real estate value.

Since companies can't outright say it's the government, they have to come up with excuses.

The worst part is I don't know what's worse: if I'm wrong or if I'm right :(

...but why? They outsource all of the phone's development!

[–] TheDeepState@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

I say this all the time. Back in the 80s companies figured out that the same amount of work could be done because of computers. Do you know what they did? HR told them to fire one in four employees and redistribute the work. Same amount of work and fewer people to pay.

They make phones. I had to look this up since I had never heard of this company.

I would find it weird to be referred to as Nothing staff, or a Nothing employee.

Look, I can do everything that I do at work from home, except prevent my boss from realizing that some Indian could do my job from his home at a tenth of the price!

Is there a Lemmy community that focuses on technology, and not things tangentially related to technology companies?

Best we can do is Elon Musk spam.

Unnecessary RTO mandates need to be outlawed

[–] Sharan@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Such a dick move

[–] DeadNinja@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

Ever since TV remote was invented, people don't even lift their asses off the couch and walk over to the TV to change the channel. Unless a company adapts to changing tech landscape, they can be many things, but not a company for grown-ups.

"Carl" is not compatible with the human race.

We need a human recycling center.

Well, nothing should require employees to be in the office five days a week
