I’m sure women will be stoked to have Apple relocate them to a state that could kill them.

Siri has a quality control team? What do they do all day?

Emailing the funniest ones to each other?

They've heard some pretty good ones from me on bad days I bet lol

Yeah I’m not in favor of constructive dismissal, but maybe these layoffs are justified….

But if this is how it is WITH quality control.... 😬

I can all but guarantee you team was understaffed, overworked, constantly asked up the chain for time and resources to automate things, and was consistently ignored.

Someone has to make sure Siri understands what I’m saying in a situation where I might as well use my fingers to get the same stuff done, but doesn’t understand a single word when I’m driving.

They make sure siri responds correctly. I'm surprised their jobs aren't being replaced with ML, although I'm sure Apple is working on it.
