Why I Retired From Apple

I certainly hope that working Sunday nights and traditional corporate structures where we refer to co-workers below us as "minions" is not something the new generation of engineers aspire to.

This sounds like the typical toxic corporate work environment of people grabbing for "power."

I'm pretty sure his use of the word 'minions' is meant to be ironic.

Yeah well, find me one current employee who isn't afraid for their dear life to openly comment on working there without using an anonymous/throwaway account.

That demonstrates a workplace of fear.

My former minions probably think that. :)

I, for one, am happy to be able to say that I was one of Don's minions. :)
