All theses tech giants are either firing employees or increasing price and adding more subscriptions.
Big tech execs: “How about both?”
Give that man a 20% bonus!
And give that woman… uhh, what’s 83% of 20%?
16.6%, but let’s just be reasonable about this and round it to a nice even 15%.
Hahah I was about to say, seems like literally every single one of them are doing both versus one of the other.
Dont worry though, it’ll be approximately a decade before the general public realizes this is not ‘innovation’ and is basically stagnant monopoly/oligopoly behavior.
They’ve been advertising this price hike for a while now. We’ve cancelled ours. Got the last “Hey, are you super duper sure you want to cancel?” email yesterday. Fuck 'em.
I wish salaries everywhere went up with inflation and so we wouldn’t have to feel the pinch…
I know, I’m saying trivialities…
Thanks for the reminder to cancel.
I wish this would cause my company to move away from Google. Google Workspace is terrible.
‘unwelcome’. of course. but this is no surprise. they jacked-up rates for new subs nearly a year ago, while leaving existing ones alone. that reprieve is now over.
What’s a good FOSS replacement?
Nextcloud as a Drive replacement? Libreoffice for documents? There’s a ton of options for hosting email yourself. But IMO you’re not just paying Google (or other services) for the software but rather for them to host it for you. I use FOSS for almost everything and self-host many of my own services, but I pay a company to host my email and it’s money well spent.
I pay for ab email server and a nextclpud instance
You can also self host libre or only office via next cloud
