It would be nice if they found a way to do something like that for their retail employees too. Really awesome though.
How would they do that, fly everybody to a central location? Plus you have the fact that most retail employees havent reached the drinking age yet.
By the way this doesn't mean that Apple should do nothing for retail, rather it just recognizing the spread out nature of the stores. Maybe a gift certificate to the local pizza joint are in order.
If I work for Apple and they gave me a certificate to a local pizza joint, I would tell them where they could put that certificate and job.
Which is why you don't deserve any job at Apple....People like you make me disgusted. If its not what you wanted they why even try right? Instead of an appreciation that they even thought of their employees. Not only did they think of you, but they'd also be supporting the local community. I sorta wish they would have done this.
I don’t understand the bitterness about a company celebration for its biggest assets - its employees. I was at the Gwen Stefani Beer Bash…
I don’t think you’re allowed to post here by the terms of your contract, but it’s nice to get an Apple employee’s take.
Why can't an Apple employee post here? Unless they're talking about an unreleased product I don't see why they can't participate here. I hardly doubt talking about the Beer Bash is a violation of any contract they're under.
Yeah, that comment makes no sense.
It's not like K-Cup was disclosing any sensitive material. If my manager brings in a box of doughnuts for the employees, I eat one and tell someone about it, I have not violated anything.
Again, there are quite a few people here who appear to be totally disconnected from the real world.
Worse, these off-kilter comments get nuttier and nuttier year after year.
I get the fact that many commenters here are very young, have very few life experiences, and have never worked in a corporate/professional Fortune 500-type environment, but we're getting long-time commenters who seem to be defiantly clueless of how big businesses work. Even when the latter are repeatedly informed on how big business works, it appears they are completely ignoring this information. It's like they deliberately want to be treated as rubes.

So... they trust them not to drink and misbehave... but not to hire properly and treat one-another with respect without a Czar of Diversity?
I hear what you're saying, I was just passing along that I've noticed a change in how most companies deal with alcohol consumption at company-sponsored functions.
99% of people don't give a shit about what she does other than her music unless you're one of those who constantly reads The Inquirer magazine. Her music may not be as popular today as it once way, but that doesn't mean she isn't popular. Its not like Apple is full of teenie boppers. Even if you're my age (mid-30's) you know her music very well. Maybe Apple will invite Skrillex next year...
And she has actual talent, unlike some recently discussed.

So bizarre.
