How to relocate out of Blue areas?
I’m more curious about what you’re out to achieve
Might try to get a PT specialist role just for Blind access 👀
Why not? They are Apple employees.
How about yahoo? Do yahoo employees have different email domain ?
I had one. The company channel at the time was rather tribal against retail employees and “retail converts” as they called them (i.e. Geniuses who moved mostly into QA/IS&T engineering roles). Some people would be really nice though.
What why? Apple is a hardware and retail business.
Elitism? Idk, wasn’t everyone but still a lot on Blind at the time at least. Kinda hard to pinpoint exactly what groups looked the least favorably upon retail as, of course, Blind is anon and in-person, corporate folks are “thanks for” for the work the “faces of the brand” do every day. Probably stems from the hiring standards for retail vs. corporate functions are much different. While it generally takes more time to develop skills to be a software engineer, it’s still difficult to get an Apple retail role and also succeed in it (although your mileage varies by store). Most SWEs I know wouldn’t last long in that high-volume, high-energy environment. I can kind of see maybe some people being annoyed if they’ve put a lot of work into their careers though, and seeing *some* retail employees acting as if them getting a part time sales role is their “foot in the door” to corporate roles. So some folks do tend to have unrealistic career standards and I could maybe see a need to insulate from it. Just my rambling perspective!
Do you get an email id with apple domain when you work at the apple store ?
https://www.quora.com/Do-Apple-retail-employees-get-an-apple-email-address Seems like they can, so Apple blind account could be someone pretending to be a SWE, but they’re a retail employee.
All Bloomberg customers get a Bloomberg email so we have lots of customers masquerading as employees 😂
