I’d like to see the breakdown between corporate and tech support on some of these.
All call center jobs suck. Are those low tenured numbers averaged in?
I may or may not have worked for Apple. After just a few months I was approached my a major tech company that was pretty soft and they offered me about 75% more with knowing absolutely 0 about me other than knowing I was capable of getting a job for Apple.
Whats the best companies for employee retention?
Non.
The company you own…
It’s cause Apple customers suck. -ex Apple employee
This article is not talking about retail employees
Hahaha

Oh wow Steve Jobs is still alive
This study doesn’t indicate whether people take other jobs within the company (move around) which would be leaving a position.
3 years of probation? The fuck kind of job is that?
I worked there a long time ago, and it was shitty then too. Fairly lousy place to be
Apple Retail in Italy is fucking toxic. Stay away from that nightmare if you can.
This data may be skewed. Tech companies grew substantially during Covid which would greatly reduce the average tenure.
Amazon for example grew from something like 900k worldwide employees to 1.2M which is a 33% in less than two years.
Looks like a lot of them are tech related companies so not such a big surprise, and obviously Apple’s situation is due to Apple Retail in particular more-so than Apple Corporate based on what I’ve seen.
No.1 at everything 🍏
When I worked at Apple as an At Home Advisor, we had sooo many people lose their jobs due to “internet issues”. They’d ask me to tell the sup they’d be late because they couldn’t sign in, but also tell me they overslept.
Apple at the time (2011-ish) had only so many times they’d put up with a bad connection being an issue. If you couldn’t get it under control, they’d cut you loose.
I really wish they’d do that at my new job because we 100% have people citing network issues when absolutely nothing points to a legit issue. But no, we let people continue to “have issues” for 4-5 years before even considering firing them.
Surprising. But it is not just Apple. Look at Amazon and Meta also being really bad.
Google and Microsoft doing much better.
Amazon and Meta might not prioritize retention and may even prefer high turnover, so it’s not because they’re “bad” at retention.
Damn, I was light weight, considering working part time at an Apple store just to get some of the benefits; specifically the discounts and being able to up my portfolio because apparently you get a discount on their shares somehow.
ITT: a bunch of people who don’t work in big tech and have no clue what they’re talking about.
Retail is a revolving door. They’re never going to pay people enough or invest in their development to keep them engaged.
For non-retail, a lot of people who know to play the game put a 2-3 years somewhere build their resume up so they can leave and level up elsewhere.
This isn’t just retail. It’s pretty consistent for the tech jobs as well. Read the article….
Retail is a revolving door.
Costco would can prove otherwise. Wish more places were like it.
It‘s also filled with young students. They never planned on staying too long.
