Apple does provide thousands of jobs around the world, but working conditions for contract employees right in Silicon Valley are borderline abusive. There may be a duty to deliver profits to share holders, but Apple has forgone some common sense forms of decency when it comes to treating all employees with respect.

Inside, working conditions have been exposed as equally undesirable. Need to use the men's restroom? You had better get in line. Hungry and need a snack during the day? There are definitely no free platters laying around and good luck finding a vending machine with any stock left. Most contract employees are assigned to work between 12 and 15 months, but many do not make it their full term.

    OP
    I worked in both Apple and google as a contractor . Don’t even compare with google . Apple is so stingy . First there is no cafeteria in the contractors buildings . Forget about the free food. A ghetto in Sunnyvale . No restrooms . No parking space . Horrible

    AQ05 has restrooms (I just checked internally) - are you saying contractors have no access to it?
    Even the AP buildings don’t have restricted access restrooms

    Also, AQ05 doesn’t seem to have its own cafeteria (if not, can u tell me the name?) as is the case with many other buildings. You can’t access what isn’t there 😀

    You should read articles about how google treats its contractors - they make us look like angels (I’ve worked with contractors myself, and it’s not as bad as it’s painted out)
