>eventually get to the Genius Bar
that answers the question that puzzled me a bit about that name. In itself it isn't a bad marketing targeted for customers, yet it happens to be also successful marketing targeted at the employees. That's really genius, pun intended, as usually help/support desk is very unpopular, churning job leading nowhere and here they turned the tables and made other jobs leading to it instead.
- jrockway 16y agoI bet the average first-year help desk employee at an investment bank is making a lot more money than the senior "Geniuses" at Apple Stores. Retail is retail.
- VladRussian 16y agofirst-year help desk employee at an investment bank is at the bottom of the bank's barrel, nobody at the bank would want their job.
- ryall 16y agoI think that was his point, "genius".
- zerokyuu 16y ago> That's really genius, pun intended Sorry that this is off topic, but thank you for saying "pun intended". It sometimes saddens me when people try to cover up a perfectly good pun or act like they are above being amused by puns.
