@jasonschreier @EverbornSaga @OtterPopBlue Wild that games can get away w/ paying QA so little. I know many QA (even strictly manual) in software teams making 200k + base salary not counting stocks & bonuses.

Been awhile since I’ve said anything! Hope everyone’s surviving. 🤘

I’ve been out of retail for over 4 years. Went into a store yesterday to grab a Mac for my mom. Apple Retail felt different now. The staff all looked broken and the energy of #appleretail was gone. Real sad. Hope it improves for them.

I still really love working at Apple

@NovallSwift It’s sad but the world isn’t a safe place

In regards to all this “flexible work model” people are whining about, people seem to forget that a majority of the company at least in software/hardware/R&D needs sensitive prototype hardware to do their jobs and having these things at home isn’t great.

@HeyMikeFalcone @IDGAFGenius FWIW every non support role at Apple is given a nice stock bonus at hire date and they refresh they refresh every year

@IDGAFGenius Store leaders get them when hired and they vest over time. They also get them annually during merit increases. You shouldn’t have to wait 7 years to start earning. Aim higher!

@mmmmyyyyy09 @p_can00000 @jon_prosser Retail employees aren’t told shit lol

Apple’s first shipment of final iPhone 12 units is going out to distributers on October 5th The shipment includes: iPhone 12 mini 5.4 (Definitely the final marketing name) -64/128/256 iPhone 12 6.1 -64/128/256 Event on October 13, as I mentioned before.

Idk why but this guy is so unlikable

@InFROPHell @probepolitely @LindaLominger Curious on what this means

@Queue_Queen I remember my time in the store I had a coworker who won’t be named who would argue against climate change during downloads.

Imagine being extremely conservative and working for our company 💀

@Emilee3D @kchironis If you’re passionate about QA / QA design look for different companies that actually value quality. I’m a QA engineer for a design team at a leading tech company and my TC is about 190k

@kchironis Trying to negotiate pay is almost worthless because nobody respects QA to begin with and everyone thinks we're mindless idiots who smash controllers all day

@PootLoops @kchironis Big companies pay interns well in hopes they’ll return post graduation.

@fruitharvester How’s life going? You doing AHA or enjoying time at home?

Current and former genius bar friends: What have been some of the silliest macOS bugs you've encountered and how'd you resolve it? (erase and installs don't count) thanks x 55

@InFROPHell oooh really? that sounds so rough
