Apple executives salary, fiscal year end 2016. How much do you get paid for generating their income?

@CodyEatsCarbs @obsoletegenius 😂

@fruitstandtales @summerincarnate @annoyedcreative @_JuniorIII @TechExpertAdmin @Poison29022822 @GeniusDefect I would love to be in on this.

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

@_JuniorIII If we unionized, we could keep all those benefits and perks and healthcare, AND see an improvement in working conditions

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

@_JuniorIII Have you ever tried to use your benefits like gym or tuition? It’s a bureaucratic nightmare. Also, pretty sure it’s illegal to have in contract promising not to organise.

@annoyedcreative Wtf??

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

High Sierra, Low Security.

“Work ethic” is a scam designed to trick you into taking pride in your own exploitation. And to shame other workers who don’t. Your “hard work” benefits nobody but the bosses and owners.

@geniusgovintage @overflow_king @diagsindicate Yeah I remember that from when I started facilitating TS training. It’s ever since GYOG went away. They folded troubleshooting part of GYOG into 2 days of TS training.

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

@overflow_king @geniusgovintage @diagsindicate I’ve been saying the same thing since TE became a thing. iPhone repairs in store, and Genius will be relegated to Mac SW troubleshooting. Once they all leave, TE for iPhone and depot Macs.

Tim and co have power over you individually. As an organized collective across different roles, races and gender, you can put an end to the working conditions you despise and challenge Cook’s support of the dangerous tax bill.

You CAN win. History of US labor power is the proof.

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

Managers at Apple going through union awareness training. Training used to identify trends and behaviors so that they can put a stop to YOU organizing to make your job and your life less shit.

@AngelaAhrendts and @tim_cook are powerless to your numbers.

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

Has @tim_cook done anything about the tax bill yet?

He does not care about you. You generate the monumental profits for the company he controls, and you pay his multi-million dollar salary. He and the other execs cannot be trusted.

In 2018, ARS workers MUST unionize.

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

My New Year’s wish is for you to get onto the right side of history and do something about this tax bill rather than giving yourself a tax cut when your employees are the ones that wil suffer.

Employees: Unionize, organize, use your collective power to defeat the tax bill. https://t.co/Bmqd5m5tbi

[Tim Cook @tim_cook]

As we begin 2018, my New Year’s wish for everyone is in the words RFK spoke nearly half a century ago. “Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.”

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

@UncreativePro And what about when they tell you they work paycheck to paycheck? I get the frustration but some people have it hard and keep phones for a few years because they have to.

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

@GR_TechExpert Needs of the business > needs of the human being who is likely complaining because something is legitimately a problem for them and causing them undue stress but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “the business and money”!

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

@RZSpecialist Agree with everything in the thread but that android bit. Controlling software? There’s a reason why the App Store got the name ‘Walled Garden’

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

@jasonkneen @genie_star @stroughtonsmith No it isn’t a free upgrade. And not everyone can pass a credit check. Side with people, not with corporations.

[bastard genius @abastardgenius]

@MarcusNartatez @genie_star @janeaaplseed @mark3k @JaneApleseed You fuckin loser.

@obsoletegenius Quoting Wilde? Jesus, if you follow this up with Trotsky then we’re soul-buds.
