That’s actually a pretty crappy low rating for Apple. Just above Microsoft and way below Google? Pul-leeease.
Apple’s rating is likely impacted by its extensive retail network. Those people have to directly interface to customers, many of whom may currently be experiencing an issue with an Apple product, and work in a fairly noisy and chaotic environment. They also get paid a lot less than the hardware and software engineers, marketing team, etc.
Looking at the avg salary levels it’s obvious that the survey includes Apple’s retail employees in addition to the ones at HQ. Obviously, Google has no retail employees, and Microsoft doesn’t have many. The CEO approval rating I think would be more indicative of overall staff happiness.
Google Rocks!
