Apple's quietly handing out absurd amounts of money to only their very favorite corporate employees, & the rest get nothing.

Any guesses if Apple adhered to gender & racial pay equity guidelines for these giant surprise RSU grants?

i’ll add: secretly rewarding a small percentage of employees deemed high performers is the flip side of the same coin as unregretted attrition of employees deemed low performers (see the legislation @PMcgawesome is working on in WA state). transparency is a requisite for equity. https://t.co/509lTNkARO

Apple is now giving out $50K-$180K bonuses to retain key developers as they’ve started losing engineers to Meta. I remember Microsoft doing this a few years back because competition with Meta for college grads meant new hires were making more than seniors.https://t.co/sdBFprvX69
