That headline is rather confusing. Then I realised that “Nothing” is a fricking company.

Also branding his stuff as Nothing phone/OS/ear is hilarious. Hilariously bad.

‘This is a company for grown ups’

And yet you don’t trust your employees to get their work done unless directly before your watchful eye? Get real, chump.

“I know this is a controversial decision that may not be a fit for everyone, and there are definitely companies out there that thrive in remote or hybrid setups,” he added. “But that’s not right for our type of business, and won’t help us fully realize our potential as a company.”

By comparison, Nothing’s demand for five-day office attendance may sting for employees who helped shape the company while embracing its founding work-from-home environment.

Besides calling people who want flexibility children, the company was founded as work from home even though that wasn’t right for the type of company. Sounds like the CEO doesn’t know how the company works.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei suggested that those unable to transition from remote working should leave the company and “find an environment where you thrive.”

Get completely fucked you dismissive shitbag.

Pei said in the email, telling employees who are worried about flexibility that “this is a company for grown ups.”

I’ll say it again. Get completely…

I typically cheer device makers because I want competition to force my preferred device maker to compete on innovation. I had been on the side of Nothing. I now want it to fail. I want this dickfaced asshole executive to find out he ran his company into the ground by pissing off the talented people below him.

how to get rid of your best and most talented workers

I’m assuming he made this declaration from his office, otherwise it would be hypocritical, and that’s impossible. Surely.

Not that it matters but that would make me incompatible with the company.

Pei said in the email, telling employees who are worried about flexibility that “this is a company for grown ups.”

During the next pandemic, do employees get to refuse working from home on the grounds of being grown ups?

“Remote work is not compatible with a high ambition level plus high speed,”

Because wasting time shipping squishy sacks of flesh through meatspace to push buttons is so much faster than having them push buttons at home. /s

But if you have as shitty a company name as “Nothing” then I guess you need all the ambition you can get.

Why would we listen to this fucking tool? He’s literally the CEO of nothing.

This right here. This article title. This is why you don’t name your company “Nothing”.

Ah, layoffs are coming to nothing soon. Well, sorry to hear that they are struggling.

Well, if I was ever going to consider buying any “Nothing” product, that’s enough to say fuck that notion indefinitely.

Also makes me wonder about teenage engineering at this point and the company they keep… Nothing and the Rabbit - shit hype products from shit grifter companies run by shit people.

My company employer, after covid said “we are considering moving back to a hybrid way of working”. I replied “Well I am considering resigning to go somewhere that is fully remote. I am not the only one”

And we never had a mandatory return to office mentioned again

theres nothing i hate more than nothing nothing keeps me up at night i toss and turn over nothing nothing can cause a great big fight
