- triyambakam 4y agoI have often wondered what it is like to work with someone like featured in the article. It appears like they would hardly be working.
- silisili 4y agoDo any of these people actually do any work? Secondly, why are they all women? Do they get more views? Are they just more inclined to make TikTok videos? Were they hired without much to do?

- jerojero 4y agoOf course they're always product managers or some kind of managerial position. I've been thinking myself of becoming a manager as it seems like the best path to rack in promotions and good money without actually doing much work, I believe, coming from a developer background that I would be able to at least understand a bit what goes on in the work my developers would be doing.
- metadat 4y agoOnly works if you're good at persuading and motivating others to do the needful. It takes people skills and great communication. Being a shitty manager ain't good for anybody.

- nielsbot 4y agoDon't do it if you work for Apple, apparently "Apple contractor fired after her day-in-the-life TikTok video went viral": https://9to5mac.com/2022/10/14/apple-contractor-fired/ https://9to5mac.com/2022/10/14/apple-contractor-fired/
- Tarsul 4y agoThanks for the article. TL;DR: The article states that she filmed her first day (!) of work at the apple office and a month later her contract was not renewed. Probably didn't ask management if she could do it...
- tennisflyi 4y agoPar for the course. Has the experience/interview skills but not that kind of common sense.
- nielsbot 4y agoApple employees are explicitly told to never post anything work-related on social media.
