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?
Ignisnex@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
Ignisnex@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.

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.

Last year the raises were abnormally high because Apple was trying to adjust for high inflation. This year, they’re just back to normal increases. The article makes it sound like this is some kind of pay cut, but it’s actually just that the raises aren’t abnormally high like they were last year. Seems like the article is trying to create some clickbait.
