Fascinating piece by @joshuabrustein on Apple's "black site" for contract workers who verify that Apple Maps is "drawing roads in the right places." More evidence that many "automated" solutions rely on an immense amount of invisible low-paid labor. https://t.co/sC0KXPWOLG

Guess which other tech firm starting with an "A" uses contracting firms to insulate themselves from awful employment practices?

Apple's 'Black Site'

Places like Hammerwood undermine the mythology of Silicon Valley as a kind of industrial utopia where talented people work themselves to the bone in exchange for outsize salaries and stock options.

シリコンバレーにも、人材流動性なんて美辞麗句では片付けられぬ格差がある。Appleの契約社員は正社員に比べて圧倒的低待遇。突然の首切りは勿論、オフィスも隔離、上司には常に監視されてる。Googleは社員の半分が非正規。こんなことをChrome for Macで呟く皮肉ったらない。https://t.co/kX71guk4zl
