The general guidance is likely what I was told when I worked at Apple: essentially, as an employee, people will read what you write as though you are repenting Apple whether you are or are not.
So in short, I kept my mouth shut. I assumed I would lose my job if my public comment reached the right people.
- booleandilemma 8mo agoDo you repent working at Apple?
- JKCalhoun 8mo agoNo. Apple is a very different place than it was when I started in 1995. Over the decades since I started, I have seen numerous changes I dislike. Sadly many of the changes were seen across the whole industry though so I would be no better off anywhere else. I'm happy to have retired though. The industry lost a lot of what used to be fun.
- seb1204 8mo agoWhere you able to pick up issues and take them up internally? E.g raise internal ticket and make comments in such?
- JKCalhoun 8mo agoOh, certainly. To this day, even retired, I send bug reports to co-workers I know that are still at Apple. (I've sent a few image files that were problematic to the top engineer on the ImageIO team for example. I worked with him for over two decades before I retired.)
