My final MR posts :(

[rockandrule]

Well guys, I'm sad to say but I have to be leaving the MacRumors community. But I'm not sad to say that I got a job at the local Apple Store! I called them today and they said that they were getting a package together to offer me a position either later tonight or tomorrow once they get everything together since they have a new way of hiring people. I'm so excited but I'm sad to say good-bye. Thanks for all of the good times! You guys all rock! A few years and a few posts later, farewell. :( :D

[StarbucksSam]

Have a great time working for Apple and feel free to slip in and tell us a little thing once in a while if you can. :) Congratulations on your new job.

so why are you leaving MacRumors?

[rockandrule]

so why are you leaving MacRumors?
Having to sign agreements with the job that pertain to not being allowed to post on any sites relating to Apple in any way.

so why are you leaving MacRumors?

NDA's. They don't want employee's posting stuff here, so they can't reveal new products, etc.

[amateurmacfreak]

Aww. Well, anyways, much congratulations!! :)

[MultiM]

Good luck!!

are they allowed to read this content though?

I mean this might explain why so many employees at the apple store I've interacted with seemed so misinformed, like once I asked this guy if Apple is getting Merom, and he asked what Merom was, then I told him the next generation of the Processor, he said noway, these processors are still fast and powerful, this was like 3 weeks ago...:D

I don't think they keep us from reading, just posting. That's the real important stuff.


I haven't signed anything yet, so I'm still good hahaha.

[MacsRgr8]

Hey, man... good luck!

r u sure you really won't post around...?
I mean.. who's watching!

I must say it is quite a sacrifice....!

well best of luck to you :)

[bousozoku]

Good luck! It's certainly a step up from living in Deltona, right? It would have been forever until they got an Apple store.

[technicolor]

I would still post if it were me. I just wouldnt make mention of my job. I know several apple employees that post here.

So,.......what's the problem?












:D ;)

[Mac Rules]

Surely, it's not like Apple are goona trace your internet movements...
Also if you just refrain from mentioning anything that'd be fine, I mean if you get drunk, you shouldn't be able to turn on your Mac, let alone type, so its all good! :D

Cheers

[agreenster]

I bet Apple doesnt tell their retail employess anything anyway.

If you want the inside scoop, know people who work for Apple HQ in Cupertino.

[Unorthodox]

I wont tell.....

[Doctor Q]

Good luck with your new job, rockandrule! It's too bad you won't be able to tell us how it is going after you start working there.

Someday, when you move on to your next job (running a major corporation, of course), come back and tell us all your old Apple Store stories!

[generik]

The employee hardware discount makes it all so worth it :)

How can they freakin' enforce that? Just don't release your name, or the fact that you work for Apple..........

[Xander562]

Congrats, i wish i could get a job at my local apple store.....:o

[elfin buddy]

How can they freakin' enforce that? Just don't release your name, or the fact that you work for Apple..........

For me, it would be a question of ethics, rather than an enforcement problem.

Too late. :p

You working where I think you are?

[rockandrule]

Went up to the store today to talk to the manager and I'm free until Monday. So it's time to post!

[viccles]

Good luck with your new job I'm going for an interview at a computer shop on Tuesday but they don't sell macs so hopefully if I get the job I won't have to quit MR :D

[Chip NoVaMac]

Congrats on the new job!

I understand the reasons for the rules from Apple.

I work under similar rules working for a camera shop. Though I have much more freedom- but it does take much restraint in replying to posts. I have to second guess the "rules".
