Why do I keep seeing companies blame shit like this on “a software glitch”? Like, fuckin, no it’s not. And no one believes your bullshit either.
I can't stand when they lie to us and it's not even plausible. I saw an ad for some technical school or something and it proudly proclaimed "Our only goal is for you to succeed". Like, no it fucking isn't! You're a for-profit business; your goal is to maximize shareholder profits while (hopefully) providing a service. It falls apart when you think about it for even a moment...
It’s a glitch that it rolled out today instead of next week.
That or the dumb fucks in charge of these companies still think it’s the 90’s where everyone thought that machines would suddenly gain sentience.
