Pretty sure I didn't need the "sarcasm smiley" for my "total shock" remark.

Most disgusting sight I have ever seen in my life.

(24,338 posts)Morale was in...the...BASEMENT. No one can EVER over-state what the return of Steve Jobs did to prevent Apple from swirling down the commode. Things were OK on assignment #1. By the end of assignment #3, I sat in a meeting in which a VP said Apple had tapped out every bank they dealt with, and there was a real chance of going under.
Then it all changed. I was long gone by then. Apple never meant to me what it did to a lot of their full-time employees, but I never thought it would become a kneeling and groveling monument to Trump.

(38,001 posts)I feel the underwhelm too. A staggering disappointment as the tsunami of peak Peter Principle and failing upwards because of who someone is rather than their achievements wash over us.
Dissent is dead. Smothered with a pillow.
All of that praise directed toward the most undeserving.

Greatest moral collapse in US history.

Then there's Bezos destroying the WaPo's reputation in order to make it more pleasing to Dear Leader.
They're all living in the moment, as if this moment is going to last forever.
