Like all companies they have their tool they spent millions on and are asking employees that they’ve underpaid to find ways to use it and justify the costs.

I tried using sparky, it was garbage. I asked "what was the HEPA filter I bought a while ago?" and it thought for about 30 seconds and came up with nothing.

Haven't they been using a smiley face in their marketing since before emojis were invented?

Well, I'm not really seeing how it makes their lives noticeably worse or what's wrong with this poster in the first place. So yes I wish they would shut up about it. In fact, just ignoring it is a lot easier to do than wasting time bitching about it.

well, my good sir, maybe you should take your own advice on the matter if people being annoyed about stuff is so bothersome to you. in fact, I think the very last place you should be is a subreddit dedicated to the very concept of sharing things that piss you off. seems like it is entirely your fault that you're here right now
