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.

It’s cause Apple customers suck. -ex Apple employee

This study doesn’t indicate whether people take other jobs within the company (move around) which would be leaving a position.

Whats the best companies for employee retention?

Apple Retail in Italy is fucking toxic. Stay away from that nightmare if you can.

Surprising. But it is not just Apple. Look at Amazon and Meta also being really bad.

Google and Microsoft doing much better.

If high turnover isn’t a problem for some or all of these companies or if it’s even good for them, then they aren’t “worst” at retention - it’s their model.

This is highly contingent on team and role. Apple and Amazon have a lot of call centers/ customer service positions relative to a company like Google which doesn’t really need to support as many products.

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.

I didn’t read if they gave reasons but having Apple on your resume is a bump when you’re moving on and up.

Just from personal experience.

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.

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 🍏

ITT: a bunch of people who don’t work in big tech and have no clue what they’re talking about.
