They added a new button. Who are you calling visionless?

Don’t forget the new™ never before seen port!
Josh (from Drake and Josh): “I ain’t calling you visionfull!”
Yeah, they’re punishing the people that have the least influence on this outcome. And as you said, the people that are responsible for only doing incremental improvements on the product are already paid more as a baseline and probably got a bigger raise too.
Have you tried being less expendable?
Two years ago, they were “essential”, and the idea of them getting any kind of benefit to prevent harm was unthinkable. Shafted at both ends of the spectrum.
Having an essential role doesn’t mean you aren’t easily replaced outside of extenuating circumstances.
My dude, essential is an antonym for expendable. Literally opposites. By definitions of both words, something cannot by both expendable and essential. But logic aside, calling a person essential to the point of denying their own safety to perform their job, but saying they can be replaced at any minute is frankly cruel.
You can call it cruel, it doesn’t change the reality that there are plenty of jobs that are important but easily replaceable.
Yes, it’s important to have groceries available. No it’s not hard to find anyone to stand at a register or stock all day. Put another way, your role is essential. You are not.
I think Apple gave extra high raises last year due to elevated inflation. It’s lower this year because they’ve reverted to “normal” sized percentage increases.
