Contrarian opinion click bait piece. Apple is top heavy, just like the military. There many many many that have stayed because their job is safe, their ESP is vested and earning them tons for their nest egg. There are plenty of people with 10 yr, 15 yr or even 20 yr letters of appreciation hanging on their cubicle wall. What's more important is dispelling this myth that Apple's work life balance is great or that they even pay well. Unlike SF, working in SV most people skew older than 30+, have starter families, and live in the suburbs. Their lives are already established. But Apple is under market when factoring in the commitment you put in. On top of that day care here in Cupertino or even the south bay are extraordinary expensive. Google has child care, they even hire full time child care providers that are even issued RSUs. But then, Google is building a cult that Apple once were while Apple is transitioning to being a campus that Google once were. Ask the contract bus drivers here when you have a chance. They will all tell you the same thing. Of the people they pick up, whether it's Facebook, Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, every Monday morning, the ones that look like they most want to shoot themselves are Apple employees.
