I am not a fan of reactionary comments like this, given that Apple laid off 300 people (with pay) out of 6,000 people they employ, and those people were transcribing Siri conversations at that.

Apple hasn't been paying EU taxes, its just readjusting past wrongs. > given that Apple laid off 300 people (with pay) out of 6,000 people they employ, Apple is not employing people out of charity, I am not sure why we should celebrate a multinational providing jobs to people, it's like celebrating when the postman successfully delivers your mail. > those people were transcribing Siri conversations at that. So they deserve no dignity ? Apple is the richest company in the world, not your struggling SMB, they can afford to treat their workers better.
