If these employees really do think it's a decision between Apple culture and family life, I wonder what decision they will take and if it will have repercussions within Apple.
Unhappy Apple employees have the power here to attempt to change the company culture or simply accept what they have been ordered to do.
Only time will tell.
- bilbo0s 5y agoProblem is there are way too many employees to change culture. It's different when most employees want change, a la Amazon warehouse for instance. It's something else entirely when a minority of employees want a change. (And let's be frank, it's impossible when each of those unhappy employees have literally a 1000 candidates outside Apple's front door clamoring for a chance to take his/her job.) I'd argue that companies like Apple are probably one of the places in the tech industry where the employer really has all the power. I can't really think of any skill that an employee could bring to a place like Apple that would make that person worth a culture change. Maybe some of the guys and gals in design? Probably transcendent design eyes don't come along very often. But even then, I don't know? Probably not.

- cudgy 5y agoMany of Apple’s employees should be millionares. If millionaires cannot live life the way they want by leaving Apple, what are they working towards? Staying at Apple despite their wishes regarding a highly impactful issue like work/life balance makes them not so bright.
