      We'll have to consult the actuaries to determine what the most profitable response to this is. If it increases stock price, then IMO the only moral decision is to make a public statement of solidarity with the aggrieved employees, and immediately work to improve conditions. If it's more profitable to fire them, then IMO the only truly humanitarian choice is to give them their pink slips on Christmas day, with no severance and no unemployment benefits, then blacklist them for employment anywhere else, hoping they starve on the streets for their attempted insurrection.

      Education is extremely important.

        They aren't kidding anyone.

        Nobody at Apple works during the last 2 weeks of the year.

        Really, they just shutdown the whole place.

        I was an Apple developer for 13 years before I stopped in June. Every year they warn you that only emergency updates can be made during the last 2 weeks of the year, and those will be very limited.

        They are a bunch of spoiled wokers who don't work very much to begin with and never during the holidays.

        Spoiled wokers
