Applel on suicide watch. Engineers and developers are leaving apple
macworld.co.uk/feature/apple/complete-guide-apple-park-3489704/#openplanunhappiness >This open-plan layout used in much of the building - with most employees situated around large tables instead of separated into individual offices - is intended to promote collaboration. But it hasn't gone down well with everyone. >John Gruber has reported hearing from numerous staff members who are unhappy with the setup. >"Judging from the private feedback I've had from some Apple employees," he said, "I'm 100 percent certain there's going to be some degree of attrition based on the open floor plans. Where good employees are going to choose to leave because they don't want to work there." >One of Apple's VPs, indeed, went further. >"When [senior VP of hardware technologies Johny Srouji] was shown the floor plans, he was more or less just 'F--- that, f--- you, f--- this, this is bulls---.' And they built his team their own building, off to the side on the campus… My understanding is that that building was built because Srouji was like, 'F---- this, my team isn't working like this."
Aiden Foster
jesus christ they are actually building a fucking gulag for their workers?
Adrian Reed
It's going to be a prison...

>Silicon Valley special snowflakes no longer get their own offices or even cubicles >cry like spoiled children I hope the other big companies catch on and do this too. This incredibly self-entitled mindset the current gen of programmers have isn't substainable and needs to go. This is why so many companies have been turning to pajeets.
Connor Sanders
>substainable
Ian Brown
Most productive programmer work in own office, like do mathematics,music,medics and physics, cubicles or open office are cheap body shops,like call centers or maquilas.
Oliver Davis
>get subjected to the same sorts of pressures and conditions that literally every other wage laborer in America experiences on a daily basis >throw a shitfit
What is wrong with these "people"?
John Allen
fuck off Tim
Grayson Lee
First world problems literally.
Robert Phillips
>open office space why do people do this?
Luke Miller
it's cheap and easier to spy on
Nolan Thomas
Good programmers are in short supply and can afford to demand good work conditions.
Bentley Howard
Why the fuck would Apple do this? Their culture is notoriously secretive.
Jaxson Clark
Maybe it's to help combat that sort of thing? Having too many silos can kill collaboration. That's why Microsoft is so awful.
Eli Sanders
If they put a tower in the center it would be.
William Baker
The best and most intelligent people tend to be introverts, to the point that when one isn't, they are elevate to the status of Elon Musk or Steve Jobs. Why they thought it was a good idea to stick a bunch of talented and intelligent people in an environment that is set up to cater to extroverts is beyond me, frankly.
Dylan Smith
I hope they put 4 big Jobs statues that survey his tomb(because the only reason they built it to be his tomb)
Carter Davis
These open-plane offices are modern panopticons.
Jace Hernandez
>people mad they're actually going to have to do real work instead of web surfing all day
Joshua White
>DUDE IT'S LIKE A PRISON
That's what work is. You literally are forced to do it under threat of starvation. It's about time SV babbies got a taste of the real world.
Nolan Cooper
>want to focus on a highly technical problem >interaction engineer and community builder discussing strategies over pumpkin spice lattes right next to you F--- that, f--- you, f--- this, this is bulls---.
Parker Watson
literally a panopticon
Adrian Edwards
That's what work is for your uneducated ass. Plenty of people enjoy their work.
Logan Moore
Again, it's about time people who unironically enjoy making other people money got a little taste of the reality of their situation.
Brody Long
The reality of situation is that people who are good at what they do will leave apple and find another place to work at with better conditions.

Luis Rogers
I'm genuinely curious as to why societal failures think that anything they say should carry any weight to it. I'm not trying to be insulting, but I AM curious.
Austin Morales
>why societal failures think that anything they say should carry any weight to it. >I'm not trying to be insulting, but I AM curious. Simply ask yourself if you are so curious.
