3 of my housemates bought them. They were cheaper on contract, and they're all very much 'meh, it's an iphone'. I can see why they're selling.

Fair enough. Maybe the prices have shifted downward recently..?

A company I know got 5c's for all their staff. I guess the saving on one phone compared to a 5s isn't that great, but when you buy a hundred or so it becomes more significant.

Ah now there I can see a point, I know a few organisations that deployed the 3GS and then the 4 for their staff, they're the likely ones to get the 5C...

That's just an IT term though, isn't it? It's often not as simple as handing them out to people, you need to make sure everything is configured properly, often have to do user training etcdeployed
it's a fucking phone, not an aircraft carrier.
"Deploy" isn't a military-specific word you know?deployed

Not specifically no.
Nothing wrong with this use of English.
I think from the get-go, when you drill down and touch base, you will see through blue sky thinking, that the lifting and shifting and eventual deploying and cascading of said iphones will mean, that moving forward, this should incentivise staff 110%.

Very weird reaction, it's what they call it when they give equipment to their workers.

no, but a good example of twatspeak
Much more eloquently put than myself.no, but a good example of twatspeak
Not it's not. So what word you have used......?no, but a good example of twatspeak
"...gave the 3GS then the 4 to their staff"
Obviously
Obviously
Except "gave" is not very accurate. "Gave" implies some sort of gift. They were not gifts, they were tools for work. Therefore the word "deploy" is more fitting."...gave the 3GS then the 4 to their staff"
Obviously
That's not true,"Dave gave me the hammer to flatten the boss".PP of give.

These people clearly have no clue, this reaction is beyond weird.
I am given work to do on a daily basis - it certainly doesn't feel like a gift to me. There is nothing wrong with saying, "I know a few organisations that gave staff the 3GS, and then the 4, for work." The word 'gave' makes perfect sense, has been used in this way for many years, and, more importantly, doesn't make you sound like a twat.

You're not given work you're paid to do work. Big difference. Deploy is the correct term for this, you're being very weird about a term that's well known and established.
You're given work to do and then you're paid for completing it. It would be very weird and unusual if my boss said, "Can I deploy this piece of work to you?" That would be twatish speak. Most none weird people would say that they're "giving" you mobiles, rather than deploying them - particularly as that's the most well known and established term of phrase.
