They had this restriction in the UK where the networks would prevent hotspots from actually working. You had to buy a special additional package.
Restriction has now vanished and there are no such limits on usage. Not sure if the Regulator intervened but it was most certainly a cash grab.
These days they still manage to rip us off by annual contract increases of RPI+3.9%. That applies even during a 2 year contract.
Bravo. Took me longer than it should have!
Company laptop which is pretty much hardened so no chance of installing anything that is unapproved. No idea how people survive without an adblock.
I know what you mean.
Browsing the Internet at work is a horrible experience. I’m actually shocked at the ad intrusion that I am usually saved from!
They become quiet quitters. Barely putting any effort in and doing the bare minimum.
Folks are not going to bail out company decisions to cull by working extra harder.
They tidy CV and look for next opportunity.
Some companies seem to thrive on regular culls in the name of operational efficiencies. All that happens is talent leaves the organisation and then those left behind struggle because expertise has gone.
It erodes good will and good will is something you can’t win back.
By the time things look like they are normalising, in comes another cull!
Some rental places don’t allow you to mess with walls and it would require repainting if you move.
So not always an option.
Never looked into using firefox but the enshitification has forced me to do so.
We were told that Teams was the bees knees and it would massively enhance collaboration and productivity due to its fantastic integration.
Well, let me tell you that my disappointment was immeasurable.
It is so slow, so inflexible, so unpolished. I despise it for anything other than a quick chat.
HP, permanent member of my shit list.
Yah, good job I have zero interest in Apple products so I can’t actually tell the difference when they start to brag about their phones!
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Therein lies the problem. We should never put ourselves in a position of corporate reliance.
Android I can believe but Windows. Come on, everyone shits on Windows lol
Hired a contractor to lead the IT department. Months later, said contractor outsourced us to another company and promptly left.
They didn’t even have the guts to do it themselves.
It’s beyond a cult. Say something against them and wow, they come at you.
Since my very first ipad 1 I’ve seen this company continue to screw it’s base but for some reason the base keeps drinking from the fountain.
Honestly, the base should be studied.
The minute something injects ads is the minute I pave my exit strategy.
I hate ads with a passion.
Amazon about to lose my membership. It won’t hurt them but what it’s done is made me consider whether it’s something I want to support.
Companies need a new era of marketing because this generation reversing all their gains.
You animal!
Your proxies are nothing compared to my wall of fire.
Its the same ethos of those CEOs that are demanding everyone must return to the office. No ifs, or buts.
They damage moral which takes years to build up, they further announce layoffs which destroys whatever moral was left.
These idiots never seem to be held accountable.
Honestly, these management types need to be case studied.
Indeed. I smacked my head as I fell!
