Sure an excuse, but probably for an equally petty thing. Like speaking with another employee that it's kinda petty from apple to sue a small company with a peach logo which doesn't even compete with Apple. Or agreeing that the Ab store sometimes acts abusive (not because of the 30% cut but because of everything else). Or honestly speaking about a customer about all kinds of repair related thinks (like telling them that data recovery is sometimes possible after water damage but apple just doesn't provide such service, similar with any proper efficient repair, apple only replaces components, which there aren't that many as everything is soldered on the main board). Or... What I want to say is currently there are a lot of things an Apple employee might not like about Apple and I wouldn't be surprised if a petty boss will try to fire you if you speak about them with other employees during your brake.
