Ah. They have my genetic info. If you don’t consider that a privacy issue I don’t know what to tell you.
It not mandatory yet but soon it’s a requirement for hiring. Things like this have a way of changing quietly. Dont want to hire a person that may get cancer and miss extended time.
Apple cares about one thing. MONEY MONEY MONEY. That is the driving force behind any business. They don’t care about you, only your wallet. To think otherwise is naive. If there’s a way to use this info Apple will.
They have the ability to preach privacy and then collect data on their users. Then the magic happens the users find a way to defend Apple And their data collection.
Oh yeah. I’m not participating in the program so it doesn’t affect me. If I worked for Apple I would politely refuse the request.
Lol, y’all live in Bizarro world!
The request? The request??
Like, wtf are you even talking about??? What request????
OFFER AND REQUEST ARE NOT THE SAME THING!
Let’s change one minor detail of this story and play out how silly the responses are, shall we?
How about this:
1) Apple offers free fertility treatment for employees having trouble conceiving.
2) MR posters lose their actual minds, shouting from the rooftop- “They’re not going to force ME to have a child! It’s clearly a trap! They’re genetically coding children in the womb to only purchase Apple products... this is an obvious money grab!”
That‘s what you sound like to me.
Your deductions are beyond ludicrous. They’re like “make me wince with pity & embarrassment” for you level bad.
EVERY company wants to make money. Duh. That’s obvious.
Taking that knowledge & extrapolating it out to the conclusion (if I may even call it such), that a trillion dollar company, steeped in a deep position of respecting and protecting privacy, as a core value.... actually is amidst a deep and sleazy nefarious conspiracy; behind closed doors they convinced entire groups of doctors to go against their oaths, entire insurance and health companies to risk their futures- break HIPAA (with the risk of 1.5 million dollar fine per incident), for the dubious benefit of being able to have a list of employees with theoretical good health in their future, using this data to help in decisions about promotions?
Wow!!!!!!! That is one
wacky,
outlandish, I’m even gonna go as far as....
insane notion.
Even if you had no morals whatsoever.... doing a cost/benefits analysis on this silly theoretical criminal endeavor would tell you that there’s gotta be like literally thousands of ways to save far more money without the incredible exposure & risks involved in this hair-brained nonexistent fantasy scheme of yours.
Can you even imagine how many people would have to be “in on” this type of widespread criminal activity (with close to zero benefit to Apple)??
The doctors collecting the data, the companies passing it off, the managers secretly studying it prior to job interviews for promotions, etc. How in tf would Apple expect to keep everyone quiet?? You know that there aren’t NDAs for criminals, yeah??
Here’s a free tip: if you are imagining something going on at a company, and it’s playing out in your mind like a crazier episode of the X-Files, with a healthy dash of some Mission Impossible.... you may just have a wild imagination!
