'Apple Together' group organizing corporate, retail walkout on Dec. 24
Really, you don’t know me bro. So don’t ASSume to know what I’ve been through. I’ve had terrible managers that threaten to physically fight me because I made a mistake. I bought up my grievances but in the end corporate failed to address the issue. They relocated me and said that I was the problem. Now, if he would have hit me then, I would have Permanently disabled him by breaking his neck. But in the end I left that job and found something much better.BoreDum said:
The reality that you might not understand is that if there is a bad manager, Apple has not been taking action to let these people go. Also, there have been instances of Apple as an employer breaking the law directly through not allowing conversations of working conditions or wages to be talked about.dtownwarrior said:
I’m not excusing Apple, but No job is perfect. If there’s a bad manager then they should be let go. The simple fact that Apple is giving to HBCUs and other gender equality organizations should be a testament to their corporate image.tommikele said:
Don't like the conditions and your employer isn't breaking the law? Have conviction and quit. Walking off the job is a very different thing than a protest. By all means protest. Walk off the job? See you at the unemployment office.
Odds are good Cher Scarlett is behind much of this.Some folks really do have a victim hood mindset that every slight or miss promotions or perceive emotion is a grievance. I don’t know this “ Cher Scarlett” lady, but according to Wiki (yeah I know) she has a history of jumping companies and filing lawsuits.
I did quit, sent an email talking about wages and working conditions, and my email got deleted (by the bad manager) from the store's server. Pretty illegal if you ask me.
It's a shame when individuals assume they know the scope of a situation without ever being in that situation themselves.However I don’t constantly re-live an event because it brings on victim hood. It made me stronger as a person and taught me to not stuck with one employer.
Reality is that Apple has over 100K employees, crap gets lost or deleted. I don't know all of the means that you applied for your grievance. Like someone else said the comments, there's a path to file these things. If you talked to your manager or sent an e-mail and it didn't go anywhere, then talk to his boss and keep running it up the ladder. Or utilize the Human Resource department. But good luck with that, typically HR is only going to protect those who will more likely cause damage to the brand or will sue.Speaking of, If you still feel wronged by the company then get a lawyer and sue. Go external if you can’t go internal.I applaud the recent labor movement; however, I don't depend of people. In the end of the day, I have to train people on how to treat me. You can setup boundaries with your boss and don't have to tolerate crap. Also keep a DETAILED log of any potential infraction and make sure you have people who are not AFRAID to back you up.

Apple Silicon chips expected to be refreshed on an 18 month cycle
This is longer than the intel cycle, albeit the Apple silicon processors are better though.

Samsung to reportedly build $17B chip factory in Taylor, Texas
I’ve lived in Texas all of my life except for a couple of years. I’m tired of this state. We should call it taxes instead of Texas. Correct, we don’t pay an income tax, but my property tax is much more expensive!! In addition my home owners insurance increased by 45% without any clear explanation!!tyler82 said:
California has its problems, but is still above and beyond a stronger economy and much more desirable place to live than Texas. The reason some people are leaving is because of it’s own success and popularity: it’s too damn expensive because everyone wants to be in California (well, everyone who matters anyway, not trailer park Fox News indoctrinated cranks).Kuyangkoh said:Everyone is moving to Texas, they are all leaving California, hmm i wonder why???
I wonder how many people are regretting their move after the power grid failures and mass deaths of people in Texas freezing to death. That’s some third world dystopia right there.

Samsung to reportedly build $17B chip factory in Taylor, Texas
Meanwhile, my property taxes in Texas will increase by over 10% next year. SMFHrob53 said:Property tax breaks of 92.5% means Samsung won’t be contributing to schools and infrastructure (utilities). Who pays for those? Oil? Nobody does because the rich get richer and everyone else lives in poverty. Texas has become like an abused third-world country.
