SAP downtime

@LindaLominger Ours are 50/50. Some good people who are quiet and just get on with the work, and some who cause enough drama to make up for the others. A couple who are especially bad at taking feedback and seem to think they know it all, trying to push back on advice from 10+ year staff

Is this crop of new hires and FWEs like really bad or is it my store?

Fuck Vision Pro too. Dogshit lineup for 2024 fr.

Actually mid as fuck. Should’ve taken a year off tbh. Also fuck AI art.

Reminder that every demo light seal protector uses 4 individual pieces of plastic during the application process.

Back after Vision Pro launch to declare that this product is dogshit.

@LindaLominger Either way, I could 100% do without the business team rushing ops to book delivery on because they’ve promised a product to a customer. If PZ specialists aren’t allowed to tell customers a product is on the delivery, business shouldn’t be allowed either.

@LindaLominger My assumption was always that: 1. Apple as a company earns more on business sales via some tax shenanigans. And 2. A business purchase is technically distinct from a consumer purchase, and therefore not eligible for consumer law claims. Again, just assumptions and I may be wrong

Is there a current or former anon  manager there that can shed some light on the utter shitshow of forcing biz intros? How big is that bonus that they are pushing it SO hard?

Damn that new pencil really do be dogshit cant wait to try and find more space in our already sagging shelves for a pointless product released purely to kill the Logitech crayon. Buzzing for all the returns when customers realise the lack of pressure sensitivity makes it USELESS

@the3lions96 @jack_turban @sophielouisecc England is a shithole and there is nothing to be proud about. stop posting and go stand in the rain.

@jack_turban @sophielouisecc She? It's a man

A man who openly mocks women has one attitudes ‘woman of the year’ Is this some kind of sick joke?

Remember to submit your pulse surveys if you haven’t already, today is the last day! Give em hell!

Bro how the fuck are we “”””over hired”””” we got fuckin 3 product zone specialists. Fuckin give people jobs and more hours lmao you’re apple you can afford it for the next gajillion years

Nothing says sustainable like shipping hundreds of ugly green shirts to stores in the wrong sizes for us to wear for a month before scrapping them 🌍

An hour and 45 minutes for a “coaching session” while I’m solo in Ops would be considered a very stupid thing to do. So why did a manager decide that’s what they wanted to do? 105 minutes of fishing for the answers they wanted me to give on questions I didn’t care about.

Normalise not wanting to progress and being allowed to just carry on with the role you have if you want rather than being made to apply for roles you have no interest in

“I’m really sorry we won’t be able to have your EJ today so it’ll have to be late next week instead”

Lmao acting like you found a hack. When I was a specialist I gave everyone who wasn’t an asshole to me a discount. Buying a phone? Yeah I’ll price match it! Yeah you’re probably a student here have 10% off a mac lol!

Fuck gratuity events gimme a thousand bucks again

You have an upcoming 07:00 shift today at Hell

How about we just stop constantly adding more shit to our already bloated product lineups? Why do we need 10 different types of everything? Why do we need a launch every 3 weeks?

@notsospecialist @PulledfrmRepair Training has gotten noticeably worse in the past few years, all while piling on more responsibilities. New starters are now thrown in at the deep end with zero prep and it has a knock on effect to every other colleague when we need to fix the problems that arise.
