- caslon 3y agoCompanies aren't people, and it's embarrassing that society's first response to a corporate dispute is to anthropomorphize them.
- dghughes 3y agoIt's a metaphor. But living beings aka people do operate the company and make the decisions.
- dwaite 3y agoRight, but the anthropomorphizing of that collection of people is in this case counter to the individual people themselves - the employees were not victims of human trafficking, they left for presumably better job offers or to work on something they thought would be more interesting. It also ignores that the Apple employees hired may not have even contributed to the Watch feature in question, because surely all of Apple works on everything Apple does.

- throwaway290 3y ago> It's like meeting a friend's girlfriend and then asking her out later behind your back. Trying to understand this sentence. 1. Who is asking who out behind whose back now? 2. I gather you think it's not her choice to go out or not if she wants to, since she is your property now?
- dghughes 3y agoApple meets "you" Masimo (friend/acquaintance) and the employees ("girlfriend") then behind the back of the boyfriend asks out the girlfriend.
