I'm simply suggesting that developers should expect treatment from Apple that they would expect from their employer/manager (as many devs rely on app sales for their livelihoods).

Most managers would (except in extreme circumstances), talk to their employee at least once before raising the topic of being fired.

Most managers would confer with their boss / HR / etc. before making the decision to fire someone.
Devs should expect the same from Apple.
- soupson 6y agoShould not developers then be expected to generate a certain return for Apple in terms of sales, or risk being removed from the store?
- saagarjha 6y agoAll developers guarantee a return of at least $100/year.
- pjc50 6y agoThis is the developer version of the "gig economy". You're not an employee and don't have rights - indeed, you have to pay to be a developer! As in the gig economy, your income depends on ratings and your livelihood can be terminated by automated system. Respect unfortunately has to be fought for, and going to the press to apply pressure is one channel for that.
