  • Maryland Apple Store staff vote in favor of strike action

    Sconosciuto was making fun of macxpress‘ „let them eat cake“ attitude — hence the random capitalisation. It’s a dig at the often sub-par literacy of right-wing outrageists. 
    Thanks, Spheric. Goes to show I need to brush up on my internet sarcasm detection skills.

    I was unfortunately fired from Apple retail a few years ago. The reason given for my termination was that I "may have violated policy" by refusing to sign documents that would provide Apple with my medical records. I believe that I had a right to privacy and that I should not have been forced to disclose my medical information to my employer.

    I'm glad to see that Apple workers are now unionized and have more power to protect their rights. I hope that my experience can help to raise awareness about the importance of worker protections.

    You know what, sconosciuto, you're right. I did find another job.

    But frankly, your dismissive "just get another job" comment only highlights the issue. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have readily available options, especially when dealing with unfair situations like the one I faced.

    This experience solidified my belief in worker protections and privacy rights. Maybe you've never been in a similar situation, but a little empathy can go a long way.
