I think it’s more complicated than that, my friend.
Not many people have the luxury of choosing an occupation that aligns with their ideals. A person may have taken a job at Apple out of necessity because it’s all that was offered, or perhaps to maintain their legal status in the country (H-1B visa), or because they have burgeoning student debts, or maybe they were as yet unaware of the corporate trend towards employee exploitation.
Anyway, putting on the blame on the one’s being laid off instead of on the one’s laying off is not helping anyone except the C-suite of Apple.
Yes exactly, you can’t blame the people being laid off, they are just trying to live and I imagine a job at a company like Apple was a dream. I mean you can’t blame anyone who takes that opportunity, the salary, the credentials. The US workers really need to get the union situation sorted out in a major way.

To bastardize George Carlin, it’s a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.
Again, the Apple corporation has done more harm to the Earth and society than almost any other entity in history. I don’t make that accusation lightly and I have very little sympathy for anyone who had deluded themselves into believing that they’d never get eaten by the beast they raised.

You seem to have missed it last time so I highlighted it for you.
When you’re that close to the top, the lines of delineation get a little fuzzy but in short, I don’t think Apple gets a pass because they might have killed a little less people than British Petroleum.

Hyperbole much? More damaging than Union Carbide? DuPont? Exxon? BP?
I think you may have made that accusation lightly, or at least without careful consideration.

You know what I mean though. A “dream” job.

I dont understand how anyone can blame the workers and not the fucking corporations exploiting them.
Unfortunately it’s more likely that people are going to get burnt, Appl is going to get out of it just fine 😠

Sometimes it’s as simple as a shitty company being the only company willing to pay you to do what you want to do.
