Apple agreed to an independent audit of its US labor practices. Workers at the only unionized Apple Stores say they haven’t yet been contacted, and fear the report will be skewed.
If you want to work for Apple, work in a corporate capacity or adjacent to them. The retail store roles are ridiculously underpaid relative to the work required, with the possible exception of store leader and above (which are considered corporate positions).
I never worked harder for less money than when I was a Mac genius which topped out around $22/hour when I left in ‘14. Fast forward 10 years; Mac system admin, Jamf 400, $135k, full time remote. They fly me in about once a year for meetings and I attend Ignite and JNUC with some of my team.
