In the Netherlands their commercials always closed with ‘buy directly from the people who make them’, as if they are grassroots or something.
I would like to buy it directly from the Chinese factory people, in that case. I’ll pay full price even.

I remember in the 80’s when they deliberately invented “layoffs” as a euphemism for “mass firings” because big business controls corporate news.
Later, “layoffs” became “workforce reduction”. Then “WFR” to obfuscate it further. Now we’re back to layoffs and, apparently, “suprise layoffs”. HA.
Good morning, you’re fired, box up your shit, worker. What an incompetent greedy company.

I mean, ultimately it’s the difference between receiving unemployment insurance and being SOL.

A company headquartered in a tax-haven and laissez faire city state should give hint that bottomline is more important than humans. Always have contingencies when it comes to career, because you never know when your employer might conduct “layoffs”.

This company is garbage, their stuff is wildly overpriced and prone to breaking, with ridiculous repair prices to boot. I bought their shitty DC-07 complete with self-destructing clutch that cost $100+ to fix, it was covered under warranty exactly once, then they told me to piss off.
I went and bought a brand new Bissel for $75 and it’s been going strong ever since I bought it, the only repair it ever needed was a new belt once in 15 years. Bonus: You can engage and adjust the beater without turning the vacuum completely off, and it won’t break every time.

James Dyson being a cunt again? Shocked, I tell you. Shocked.
Is he the guy who invented the sphere?
Nope close tho, the sphere was actually invented in 1603 by Jim Sphere in the Netherlands
Freeman Dyson popularized and expanded the concept of the Dyson sphere. (Technically it was in a sci-fi story first)
Buckminster Fuller based a lot of building concepts around spheres.
“Never stop sucking.”

I’d have low morale if I worked for the company that made those absolutely useless public toilet hand driers too.
They’re good it’s just hard to believe
www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/…/2743:_Hand_Dryers
The heat is not the issue. The lack of its ability to make my hands dry is the issue.
I object more to the recirculation of other people’s piss water over my hands.
This. I love having random drip water aerosol’d into the air and splashed onto my own hands. 🤮🤢
No, they’re bad and it’s easy to believe after you’ve tried them. Air dryers in general are garbage.
So Dyson moves to Singapore to avoid Brexit (after James Dyson himself supported Brexit) and now has to lay off folks. Doesn’t sound like good business leadership and a complete lack of planning.
This is a company which no employee should ever trust or believe.
My wife kept saying we should get a Dyson, but I wouldn’t contribute to the cost so we bought a Henry.
He’s not getting a penny my money.

“Fun” fact: Dyson is the UK’s biggest farmer and richest man Britain’s Biggest farmer
They just started a makeup line…
