Yes, but Apple's actual shitty behaviour or this hypothetical shitty behaviour might stop someone putting food on the table.

If someone loses their job over this, the fact it's just Apple being arseholes won't be of much comfort to the newly unemployed (unless it's a lucrative wrongful dismissal suit I guess.)

Does anyone have any confidence in Apple doing the right thing by its employees or indeed customers?



I don't mean to imply that Apple wouldn't do it. Just saying that if we're assigning blame, that's where it should go.

As for putting food on the table, in general I'd agree, but do ex-Apple employees in SV really have trouble finding new jobs?



1. That's not being done anymore.

2. Even if it was, it didn't apply to people who have been fired.

3. Even if it did, there are lots of other places for programmers to work.
