Sex, Drugs, Theft and Destruction: What Really Goes On Inside An Apple Retail Store, And Why You Should Be Afraid
In SoMeIT (Social Media Information Technology), we are fully dedicated to satisfying all of your web needs, integrating your business to social networks.
Gizmodo has published an amazing story about shenanigans inside Apple stores. Somehow Gizmodo got current and former Apple store employees to dish about the naughty stuff that goes on inside the stores. The list includes:
Breaking stuff just for fun.
Stealing, including swapping out Apple components and putting cheaper parts into machines in their place.
Sexual harassment. That’s what prompted the former employee to say that “Apple retail is turning into Best Buy; soon to be filled with workers who don’t give a shit or respect the company and just there for the paycheck.”
Plain old consensual sex, sometimes inside the store.
Fraud.
Drugs.
The grossest, creepiest of all:
Geniuses looking through people’s hard drives for nasty personal photos, collecting them and sometimes even posting them on the Internet.
Reporter Sam Biddle writes: “If a woman walked in, her stuff would get digged through, shared and laughed at. Team bonding. Your iPhone camera roll isn’t safe.”
Quote from one tipster: “I used to be an Apple store Expert and the most common practice by Geniuses was going through young girls computers and emailing their private photos to themselves so they could have them for personal use.”
Biddle sums up:
“There are – and always will be — miscreants in every job. … But when emails arrived in droves repeating the same naughty phenomena, you have to wonder why a company whose rep is as sterling as Apple’s seems to have such a pattern of internal havoc.”
One tipster who claimed to be a former Apple employee who had opened retail stores in North America and Asia wrote: “The corruption within Apple goes straight to the top. … Apple is fracturing from the inside out.”
It’s an amazing, scary, must-read story with lots of screen grabs, emails, documents and photos. See the full story here.
