Mutiny! Apple Employees Sue Apple

You heard right. Employees. And not just any employees. Geniuses. That’s right folks, the very people who have access to all your precious hardware and software are now using their knowledge of the known universe to take down Apple themselves. Right?

Quite simply, these employees felt like they were treated unfairly. In fact, I’d have to agree if all of this was indeed true. Allegedly, The Loop claims:

”[…] Apple denied employees statutory mandated rest periods; willfully failed to compensate employees for missed rest periods; failed to pay compensation in a prompt and timely manner to former employees; and failed to provide accurate semimonthly itemized wage statements.”

Certainly not good, especially for a company that is highly regarded as one who treats their employees well. You know, asides from the whole “Steve will kill you” thing if you leak anything to the press. But let’s look on the bright side: at least they can start anew as Microsoft Gurus.
