Be Excellent To Each Other

Brr again.

That's about the worst thing I've read about Apple actually, and it's pretty troubling if true. Even though, probably not that unusual for high tech gadget companies.

Cripes.

Dunno, seemed to be a bit of non story to me, laced with a load of crass hyperbole. You could accuse many other large successful firms of behaving in the same way.

I'd hope it's exaggeration from someone with an axe to grind. The office lockdown, confiscation of phones thing certainly doesn't sound cool though.

Holy shit. That's quite disturbing.

There are rebuttals in the comments from other Apple employees. Sure, they are only anonymous commenters, but then the article is written under anonymity anyway.

"Well, they choose to work there"

Yep I was just reading those. Some are written under what appear to be real names too. Which I doubt would be the case if they were under the terror of the STASI or whatever the article claims.

They're all from ex-Apple employees, not current, as far as I can tell.

The call center I worked in was equally as bad if not worse. Welcome to American business.
