I think they are saying that there are two Apples, one is doing administrative, engineering and marketing while the other is doing retail sales, cafeteria work, or manual labor. The latter doesn't get the same benefits as the former. The equitable thing is about making policy for time off and other benefits universal for all parts of the business. I think it's a fine idea.
- mhoad 5y agoWould be cool if they also thought about the manufacturing side of the house who as I seem to recall had to install “suicide nets” on site because conditions were so poor that staff were killing themselves in such large numbers.
- duped 5y agoThat was Foxconn, a contract manufacturer.
- mhoad 5y agoBeing one stepped removed from the suicide nets really changes nothing about what I said. Still entirely within their control and responsibility.
- duped 5y agoKind of more and less than one step. Apple (and other companies that used Foxconn) did investigate their relationships with Foxconn after the suicides at their facilities and that's why Foxconn increased pay and installed the netting.
