Fuck intuit. They lobby against easy tax filing so they can stay the middleman and reap in the dough.

H&R block as well. people with low income still files free though.
Jump through the shame hoops, poor! Perform for rich daddy! Be shamed for being a poor and denying us our profits!
- the free option
Well, it’s “free”. They ~~bribed~~lobbied Congress so that the IRS has to pay the provider with your tax money every time someone uses the “free” offering.
Also they bought MailChimp and made it shitty
'Layoffs to focus on AI' at this point seems to be the in-vogue way to distract investors from the poor financials that are driving the layoffs.
This, and, I think the “AI” investigations the companies are doing is revealing a lot of “what is it you say you do here?” moments. (An Office Space quote, which is required viewing for anyone commenting on corporate jobs)
I think a lot of companies are finding that a lot of jobs are expendable. Now, before you all accuse me of siding with corporations, I feel they aren’t going to just keep the workers who have been pulling their weight this whole time, they’re gonna slash randomly or by popularity and just say “work harder or leave.”
The next 10 years is gonna a clusterfuck.
After Peter has told the Bobs exactly what he does, i.e. nothing, the Bobs report back to Limburgh.
I'd like to move us right along to a Peter Gibbons. Now we had a chance to meet this young man, and boy that's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.
I just watched it again this year, after not having seen it for like 15 years so I didn't remember a thing 😅
I did too. Didn’t it sound like such an innocent crime these days?
Definitely! 😅
financials are pretty good. it's their share price that is going down the shitter.
The growth prospects for Intuit are poor. They can basically try to upsell you harder while you're using TurboTax. I sure don't like the idea of AI being involved in my tax preparation, though
Turbo Tax is small peanuts for Intuit, they make most of their money from the Payments division.
Is that through QuickBooks? Seems like there's a lot of competition in that space too, though I'm not very familiar with it
The QuickBooks ecosystem is a large driver, but they also offer their payment processing via many other paths. Competition in the space is vast, and a good thing, unfortunately most of the competing products are actual garbage.
Yes, ok, that makes sense. AI, famously able to do the simplest math at accuracy rates approaching 50%, and financial and tax software. Just try and name a better match?
A relative works for a big accounting firm and they have a massive AI push. It’s not like it’s an industry where precision and accuracy both matter enormously.
As a tech who needs to constantly assist clients with their horrendous Intuit software and idiotic levels of subscription costs, may I just say
FUCK INTUIT! BURY THEM SO DEEP THAT THEIR NAME IS FORGOTTEN
