I work at Apple. Thank you, thank you. A big part of me seeking out and taking this job is impressing random people I meet that I am affiliated with such a legendary company. However, on multiple occasions people incorrectly assume that I work at an Apple Store, how dare they? It is important to my self worth that people realize that I make more money than them, and on a whole other level intellectually. Apple being a classy company, I of course need to behave accordingly, I don’t feel like a sly smirk and an um.. actually I work at corporate, I’m not some peasant at the Apple Store, would do the company justice. How do I seemlessly restore my ego in such encounters without coming off uncouth, or egotistic. Like I don’t even really care, but they should know for their own benefit kind of way. TC: the privilege of having the Apple logo on my badge.
Just tell them your role. For example "I'm a DEI program manager at Apple"
As a fellow Apple employee (hopefully not retail 😬), I understand that you have a lot on your hands inventing revolutionary technologies and bettering mankind, so I understand.
Ask random people on the street “do you need an employee discount on iPhone 15?”
Apple Store employees also get discounts
I am against the discounts. We are already practically giving stuff away. Apple products should be priced at a higher premium to ensure that only those of a certain economic distinction or willing to sacrifice a significant portion of their earnings could ever have the privilege of carrying our logo.
Get a tattoo on your forehead??

Tell me you’re Indian without telling me you are Indian…
I’ll bet a $100K he is NOT Indian
Hey, I just want to remind you that you’re a corporate cog. You’re not changing the world or saving lives. You’re as important as the people working in the stores. You just get paid more to contribute the same amount to society.

Apple TCs when compared to real big tech are equivalent of you working at an Apple Store
