they actually have obsolescence departments now that work day and night to figure out how to shorten the life of a product
So basically when someone asks someone who does that work what they do for a job the answer, if honest is “I try to make products way more expensive for people by shortening the product’s lifespan”
I know it. It’s everywhere. It’s effing criminal. The few things that are still made in America tend to still be very well made though as in, I expect them to outlive me.
Have you ever worked anywhere in the product development cycle, as an engineer, designer, or product manager?
