There is no outrage at the technology or the idea of being able to work when you want.
There is outrage at an advertising campaign that celebrates being distracted by work from important family events.
- res0nat0r 13y agoYet the ads are saying exactly the opposite. You don't have to be totally absent using 365 like you could before the product was available to you (which is a good thing when you are forced to work, vs not being there at all). People are just trying to find reasons to not like the product to fuel the MS hate in my opinion.
- gress 13y agoI think underlying the dislike of the ad is that it glorifies a situation where people as you say are forced to work. Certainly if you are forced to work at the whim of your boss, being able to do so while being able to attend a family event is better than simply not being allowed to attend family events. Being waterboarded is better than the thumbscrews, but most of us would prefer not to have to choose one of them.
- res0nat0r 13y agoThis comes back to my other comment in another thread, that everyone should be outraged at the companies enforcing this type of work/life balance, not Microsoft.
- gress 13y agoMicrosoft is putting large amounts of money into celebrating this kind of behavior. Why on earth should that be ignored?
