“‘You may want to know about their Worldwide Loyalty Team,’ Tom told me recently in an email. I read what he had to say,” Diaz reports. “It felt like a description of the Gestapo, without the torture and killing part.”
Diaz reports, “Of course, if Tom had never sent any sensitive information to media outlets, he would have never had the fear of being caught, only to get fired and sued into oblivion by Apple Legal. But the lack of any privacy whatsoever is something that he shared with all his fellow employees.”

MacDailyNews Take: Diaz shovels quite the load of horse manure in his full article; even going so far as to seemingly blame Apple for a Foxconn worker’s suicide. The fact is: Apple’s secrecy is a valuable commodity and employees who threaten to, or actually do, cost the company money for no good reason whatsoever should be fired. That said, any Apple who wants to anonymously send us a photo, specs list, etc. regarding the oft-rumored tablet or any other top secret product, please feel free to do so at your convenience.

As a recently retired Apple engineer (17 years) I can tell you that the entire idea is bullshit. No engineer at Apple would tolerate that kind of environment. Apple employees for the most part understand the need for secrecy and take their non-disclosure agreements seriously. All the “secret” project groups rare locked down so that unless you are assigned to one of those projects you can’t wander the campus.
Perhaps retail is different, but it wouldn’t happen in R&D;. The engineers would quit.
The Diaz and all then other anti-Apple people who want to believe this should got to work for WAFM.
By the way I also worked for Microsoft for a brief time. It was like working for the government with all the rules, regulations and limitations. No wonder it takes them so long to get anything done and of inferior quality.
I thought this was obviously satire… then I started seeing it quoted as if true in serious news articles.
C’mon people!
