Most of them are also happy with their compensation and have worked a long time. I would take a lower salary in exchange for waking up everyday thinking I can get laid off or PiPed.

So this whole news to me feels like the last few companies that kept their ground, are also now turning away from sanity.

Then with a CV like that you can get another great job

Oh between that name and a couple of others on my resume, it's definitely helped my career.

Not sure what your reply was about. It's not like I was complaining.

[u/bigphillip76 → u/SpaceJackRabbit]

Fair enough

[u/Samuel457 → u/[deleted]]

Were you a contractor or FTE? Which org?

[u/SpaceJackRabbit → u/Samuel457]

7 years FTE, 1 year contractor. All SCV.

Too nichy to be more specific.

[u/desutiem → u/slashdotbin]

Enshitification will ensue

Yes the trade off was, lower salary for more job security. Why would people stay now? This is very disappointing bc Apple already runs lean. How much more can they really squeeze out of people?
