"The general perception is: Adobe is an evil company that will do whatever it takes to F its users."

Adobe’s employees are typically of the same opinion of the company as its users, having internally already expressed concern that AI could kill the jobs of their customers. That continued this week in internal discussions, where exasperated employees implored leadership to not let it be the “evil” company customers think it is.

This past week, Adobe became the subject of a public relations firestorm after it pushed an update to its terms of service that many users saw at best as overly aggressive and at worst as a rights grab. Adobe quickly clarified it isn’t spying on users and even promised to go back and adjust its terms of service in response.

For many though, this was not enough, and online discourse surrounding Adobe continues to be mostly negative. According to internal Slack discussions seen by Business Insider, as before, Adobe’s employees seem to be siding with users and are actively complaining about Adobe’s poor communications and inability to learn from past mistakes.

Adobe has been exploiuting users for years. they are invasive, they already do wayy more snooping in your data than they ever should. I stopppeed using them years ago and always recommend for others to do so. they don’t deserve your money and especially don’t deserve even one MB of your data.

You know how fucked up your company is when even your employees are mad at you.

Workers learning the news: “Oh, damn. I work for a sh!t company now?!?”

Same with Unity’s devs. It sucks to watch your life’s work being flushed down the drain for stupid grasping at shitty, random fads.

I’d just like to know how the same fucking company that makes Illustrator and Photoshop can come up with something as astonishingly shitty as Acrobat.

Good time to drop a reminder that Affinity’s tools are 50% off right now and are buy-once software.

Oracle and Adobe seem to be the most evil companies, but we should be careful not to anthropomorphise them.
