Apple Cans Hundreds Of Employees For Collecting iPhone Rebates
October 18, 2007 by Lauren
Remember when the iPhone first came out, and tons of eager beavers paid way too much for it? Remember when Apple offered all of those schmucks a consolation of $100 in the form of a rebate? Well that was all fine and good, but it blew up in several hundred employees' faces.
800 Apple retail store employees, thinking they were so clever, collected their $100 rebates for the iPhone. To clarify, they collected rebates on iPhones that were given to them for free by Apple. Shame, shame. And what fools they were to think that Apple wouldn't catch and fire every last one of them, immediately.
The good news is, if you're looking to work for Apple, there are a lot of openings now. It does seem that it'd be easier for Apple to just dock all of those employees' pay $100 bucks, but that simply isn't Apple's style.
