Google ranks Fortune's best company to work for, Apple not even in top 100

I think of the Office Space quote:

"Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work."

"Question though, how do people get anything done with all that goodness in your backyard"

You tell them:

"See all this goodness? Yeah, if you don't get your work done, you don't get ANY of that."

After that, you assign them to projects they'll enjoy and are good at so that they actually *want* to work on the project. Once that's taken care of, you give them mandatory time off to work on their own projects and BAM! you've got a business model that keeps your employees not only working but actually wanting to work.

With Apple's security, even a fly would not be able to get to their top secret labs. I doubt you can even get to their cafeteria.

Better than selling phones at a retailer who's losing market share every year.

Who is selling phone at a retailer who losing market share every year? Are you talking about that Sam Sung guy working for Apple retail store?

Hey Mr Personal Attack! When did you get here?

Did he say anything negative about your precious? No, so what's with the preemptive strike?

Is there no limit to your insanity? Christ man give it a rest.

Actually, Best Buy's mobile and computer divisions do quite well for themselves. It's the crap like appliances and DVDs which are dragging us down. Even if the rest of Best Buy dies (unlikely) the part I care about, the mobile division, will likely survive as a stand alone spinoff. I mean, there are already plenty standalone Best Buy Mobile stores, and they keep opening new ones, so they must be doing something right.

Did I just destroy your poorly thought out personal attack? Yes I did.

Its quite probable that working for apple could be realistically called being under a 'regime'. The induction process must be mind altering, literally. With the market share for apple starting to decrease further across markets outside the US those unfortunate apple staff will no doubt start to be put under the knuckle.

Apple doesn't own Foxconn.

15. andro. posted on 18 Jan 2013, 08:15 6 1

No but it make sure it's workers are under a considerable amount of 'pressure' to churn out iPhones

16. protozeloz posted on 18 Jan 2013, 08:16 6 0

I don't think he said apple owned foxconn....
