There was no need for this new complex at all.
Fair call... current one's pretty sweet and has historic value.
I'm not used to working on a 'campus' (unless it's a university) so I guess ai can't fully respect what they want our of a 'campus'. The building I work in is our 'national office' and it just that... an 'office'. We don't get a lot of perks. BTW my workplace employs a LOT more people than Apple and our 'national office' fits 40,000 people.
What advantage does this 'campus' have over Infinite Loop? To me it does sorta feel like a big company flexing its corporate power.
While it includies parks and stuff... the last thing I wanna do is walk around our offices at lunch or stock up on Apple food because there is nothing else nearby. I walk down to the lake (or to the mall/shops) to chill out. Is moving everybody away into a 'campus' really a good thing or would a little less 'show-off' be more practical? Working at an office that holds 2 or 3 times the staff capacity, I can't see the need for this monstrocity.
Sure my office looks boring, but we all work 9-5 and it's just an office! Not sure if I actually like the 'campus' model where people are presumably encouraged to do more stuff at work than... work.
