I dont quite remember the meeting room names in Mathilda 3 over at the Apple on Mathilda Ave, but if the MA03 (in the screenshot) refers to "Mathilda 3", then this story is totally believable.
I worked at Apple and it was absolutely horrible. I remember sitting on the train and actually thinking about killing myself. Reasons were many, but mostly I just didn't fit in there, I think.
I felt like people there were also a bunch of whiny little bitches to be honest. Always having some problem with a hand or a back or some family problem or whatever which demanded that they take days off. There were a few people whom I felt were probably talking some shit behind my back, but I couldn't really believe it until I read this story. It was just a horrible horrible place and I can also recognize that thing about having a predecessor, who was apparently a "bad person" and thus had to be terminated.
Every other day I would have people telling me how great a place it was and how lucky we were to be working in a place so big while still having that startup feeling. I have worked at startups and I always just imagined to myself that 40 year old "dude" who refuses to grow up. That is Apple..
Never again.
I got dragged through the whole white boarding experience also for the first time and it was fun enough, but in hindsight, they should just have asked me if I would suck Steve Jobs dick, if he came in that door. The answer to that question alone would have provided them with enough information about whether I would have been a good hire or not.
I am 45 and have never every experienced a work place like that. Always had positive feedback and never had any problems with colleagues.

- thinkingemote 6y ago>Always having some problem with a hand or a back or some family problem or whatever which demanded that they take days off You now know that they too hated the place and did whatever they could to not be there, I hope. They were not "whiny little bitches" at all.
- griffoa 6y agoOkay, yes actually never really considered that as someone who never had a single sick day in my life. It might be....
- NoSorryCannot 6y agoYou should use your sick days when you are sick.
- griffoa 6y agoOf course..
- Grustaf 6y agoIsn't that usually exactly the reason some people are winy little bitches?
- birdyrooster 6y agoThat’s how people take extra vacation pretty much everywhere. It’s not being a whiny bitch it’s called not working yourself harder than necessary. Go work yourself to death somewhere else and stop shaming people for not being Apple fanboys and working extra hard for Papa Steve.
