Apple retail has changed since I joined them—not necessarily for the better—some might say because of the iPhone.

I'd never be able to work under such conditions. I am lucky to work in a very relaxed environment.

Guess that's the best way to describe it...now it's more like an actual business.
Not as much fun anymore...I actually took the job part time to blow off steam from my full time job. It was blast to come to work and talk about Macs and helping people with their problems. But like I said, things change...guess that's what happens when more Windows users cross over to the "dark side" (when they should have stayed put).

Confessions of an ex-Apple employee or something. Brutal policies, and no privacy whatsoever.

Brutal politics and no privacy? Sounds like most companies to me. Nothing new here. |

If you read some of the articles it's more like working for MI-5 than a computer company.
