I find Apple's extreme secrecy off-putting. I wouldn't want to work at a place where there is such limitations about what you can discuss with your coworkers, let alone your friends and family. But that's how things work at Apple. It's unbelievable that an Apple employee would let their child have a hands-on with an unreleased product and film it. If he didn't realize that is a fireable offense, well, that in itself is a fireable offense.

- scarface74 9y agoHave you ever worked at a company that had to be HIPAA compliant?
- nickm12 9y agoYes, my current company deals with HIPAA data. It's not a medical company but we do store and process customer data that needs to be HIPAA compliant. I can still tell my friends and family what I work on.
- TrickyRick 9y agoCan you film secret company data and put it on YouTube though? I seriously doubt he would have been fired if he simply told his friends and family that he was working on the radio for the next iPhone.
- djrogers 9y agoThis guy would have been fine if he told his family he was working on payment software for the next iPhone. What he did though was the equivalent of you showing your family HIPAA records and pointing out private medical information about someone else.
