Apple reduces raises given to retail employees after weak iPhone quarter::The smartphone market and general economy have slowed down post-pandemic, and Apple is reacting with a lower raise for employees in 2023 versus 2022.
The most valuable company in history with a market cap of $2.96 TRILLION dollars is screwing their employees to save an otherwise negligible amount of cash? Steve Jobs would be proud.

Yeah, they’re punishing the people that have the least influence on this outcome. And as you said, the people that are responsible for only doing incremental improvements on the product are already paid more as a baseline and probably got a bigger raise too.

Have you tried being less expendable?

Two years ago, they were “essential”, and the idea of them getting any kind of benefit to prevent harm was unthinkable. Shafted at both ends of the spectrum.

I think Apple gave extra high raises last year due to elevated inflation. It’s lower this year because they’ve reverted to “normal” sized percentage increases.
