Sal Soghoian Departs Apple
- chmaynard 10y agoI hope the layoff was not an example of age discrimination, which is rampant in the Valley. When I worked at Apple, there was a senior tech writer working in my department who was in his late 70's. I thought that was very cool.

Less pliable as well, more likely to tell an manager something is impossible, one reason H-1Bs are preferred by so many firms.
