Non Apple Park offices lack basic things like stationary, printing paper, cleaning stuff, no mac dongles etc I can understand they do not put good coffee machines because they want to get business to caffe macs. But can Apple increase their standard for employee services? Huge bank balance so for them it would be just a pinch of salt, but still they do not do. Tc 250k
Yes, and that's how they maintain their balance sheet. Unless you are in CXO, you are just a resource and good brand companies can sway employees with just their name. So why should they?
So its mentality issue? Because other companies like Google, Meta and even various smaller companies does much more for employees?
Yes, if current situation works with minimum attrition and good productivity - it would not make sense for a company to spend more on employees. Hence they save cost.
Because people still come work for them.
Yeah, until they find a new job for a competitor
Haha you’re free to leave apple
Does not answer my question though.
Google, why are you f@&*ing with English language?
Come join Amazon. We have stationary, printing paper, cleaning stuff, Mac dongles. My office even has barista drinks for free (which is unusual for Amazon). It not crazy like Google or anything, but still something
Nice! Preparing for interviews, so one day def.
I think both apples and Amazon campuses in Bay Area are served by bon appetite, so cafeteria food should taste the same, lol
Yeah it’s pretty sad. I don’t ask very much to do awesome work, just water coffee and milk. And I can’t even get that.
unfortunately they don't do milk any more.
Wow Apple truly sounds miserable
My non-AP office is loaded with office supplies and Mac/iPhone accessories
What's non-AP?
AP == Apple Park == The Spaceship
Instead of complaining on blind, you can simply request whatever you need from your building assistant. If your building assistant isn't responsive, talk to PBP.
Point is these things should be automatic, instead of me trying to push for it
have some empathy. some of these admins are overwhelmed with rto and order back logged. Instead of complaining on the internet, and nothing will happen, this is something you can easily fix.
both offices I had at apple in Mathilda and Cupertino had good printers. Your data point may not be accurately representing the most offices at Apple.
I don't think I've printed a single thing for work during my time in tech. Only one or two personal items.
Do you guys still do code review over email? Do you use Microsoft products at all?
Code reviews over email? How long ago was that?
Only when my telegraph is broken.
Because it was founded in the 80s, almost went bankrupt and the same people in charge then are still in charge now.
The same people in-charge today are earning millions, drive expensive cars, live in millions dollar homes. But miser only for others
Welcome to corporate life. Even for companies that don’t make money, executives make millions, drive expensive cars and live in million dollar homes.
