Re: Apple's Retail Army, Long on Loyalty but Short on Pay

Apple is famous for charging a massive premium for their products but squeezing suppliers and their labor force hard--- this is one reason they are so profitable.

I don't think this is entirely true. It seems to me Apple has "squeezed" suppliers to be responsible to their employees. More than any company, Walmart has to take the cake for the drive to the bottom.

So Apple is hugely profitable but pay their employees a standard wage. /shrug. It's a free market. They're paying people exactly what they're willing to work for.

Some of the yuppies that work there would probably do it for half...

Yup. If you don't like it, get a different job.
