If true, then that explains why PBL.
Well among the tech world Apple is known for pretty average salaries and an oppressive atmosphere.
Also, I've heard from some people that would know that it's pretty bad internally.
Well among the tech world Apple is known for pretty average salaries and an oppressive atmosphere. I think it's pretty clear why that wouldn't work without their leader around anymore. Who would want to put up with that?
And the tanking share price. I know a lot of Apple guys who have 20-30K in Apple stocks. Now it's 40% less. Tim Cook: keep depressing the stock price and soon you will have no one left for "innovation", only this time, it's for real.
Maybe Apple underpays its best people, but maybe it is just a plain lousy place to work. Any portrayal of the culture wrought by The Steve that I have seen was that he was an abusive employer. And corporate culture generally flows from the top down.
But maybe apple is a great place to work that pays above-market wages and this is a lone crank. Unlikely, but maybe true?
...or maybe you have no idea since you dont work there? most likely true?
You must not have applied there lately. Nothing like spending a full business day interviewing with different departments that can't tell you what they do, only to have the recruiter hang up on you when you share your current (already below market) salary, or try to brag about how great the stock program is. I don't know about your bank/landlord, but mine won't accept rent/mortgage payments in options.
Now's the chance! We should move to California and work forWhat's going on? Lots of people are leaving all of a sudden?![]()

Attitude much?
Facebook has also hired an Apple executive. So obviously these folks are being offered something far better than what Apple has.
And what about all the people moving to/from other companies that we never hear about? With Apple anything and everything is news.
Wow, jumping ship from a great innovative company to one that is struggling to make a profit - things must be very bad behind close doors at apple![]()

Rats are always the first to leave a sinking ship.
And I'm wondering about what Apples future ARM efforts will be like.

Wow, jumping ship from a great innovative company to one that is struggling to make a profit - things must be very bad behind close doors at apple![]()
i feel like apple is imploding internally
REALLY hope they don't start using AMD chips...

There is clearly "something" going on behind the scenes. What exactly, we can't know. Apple hasn't headed too far off course yet that I'd worry, but if they start going down the path of "a device for everyone" like they used to in the 90s, then I'll worry. There have been signs so far, but that's all they've been.
And what about all the people moving to/from other companies that we never hear about? With Apple anything and everything is news. Especially when Apple goes quiet and rumor sites have nothing to report.

Leaving the ship, eh?

...With all those positions unfilled, no wonder it seems that the direction and execution is suffering.
