they should be at least nice enough to give new hires the correct and best phone, the stebe edition, rather than 2 year old phablets

good lord that's a terrible loving paint job. i'd give my students a C for that

the finish on that thing looks like 30 year old fiberglass playground equipment that the crew just kept painting over

I can't say much more because ndas but suffice it to say the phones they give us can't just be bought in an apple store. There's an extremely limited supply of internal phones for good reason. Not every apple employee gets a phone.

I honestly can't tell what the hell it's made of. it *looks* like spray-painted styrofoam, roughly rasped into shape, but they can't have just used that because it would never stand up. the texture is also similar to poured concrete but that doesn't make sense here either. if i were building it i'd use fiberglass, but you'd have to make a special effort to get fiberglass to have a finish that lovely.

my guess is that it's fiberglass, and they made it in like two days so they didn't have time to do a proper layup, and instead just carved a mold out of foam by hand and called it a day. i'm saying two days because even if the finish were that lovely out of the mold, you could bondo and sand it smooth in another few days before painting, but they clearly did not do that either.

just low effort all around.

I'm going to guess that they had to remake the cookie mold like a dozen times to meet exacting nabisco brand standards and they ran out of time for the rest of it
