Since it will be widely known among peer organizations that Apple has this policy, the presence or absence of the "Associate" title achieves this, in effect, does it not? I think it's unlikely someone seeking a 600K job will be mistaken for having been a retail employee.
- sumeno 5y agoBased on the article it obviously isn’t widely enough known to prevent people from losing job offers over it.
- torstenvl 5y agoAnd in that scenario, Apple is the bad actor for referring to a non-C-suite employee as an associate, not the employer who fired someone over unverified information and poor assumptions?
- sumeno 5y agoThey weren’t fired, they had an offer revoked. But either way, two things can be bad at the same time
- qqii 5y agoI'd argue that false data doesn't achieve this, it just confuses everything. Using an analogy in programming terms, it would be like `job_title <- Maybe "NULL"` whereas they really ment `job_title <- Nothing`.
- redler 5y agoI do agree with this. If they stick with this policy it would be better if they use some unambiguous title like “Former Employee”.
