Roots of the Apple tree…

alternateorg on May 3, 2002

I dont know how many of you know this, but I work(ed) for Apple until this morning. It has been almost 2 years and 2 departments. First iTools, then Apple Retail. It has been very interesting and educational to be with two Apple “startups” during the beginning of each. All I can say is Apple is just another corporation and I for one am glad to get the fuck out of corporate America… at least for the forseeable future. I am going back to working with friends doing print work, typesetting and design. Hallelujah. I need to be creative again, web/programming work and tech/customer service just arent my gigs anymore. Anyway, I know none of you care, but I am going to be posting as ‘”trk”, the initials of my real name, Tai Ram Kahn. So, now that I am not under NDA, expect some Apple posts but a little less refrain on my part. Dont get me wrong, they are still the best computers in the world, just not the best corporation, as I once thought.

    hey – you could have given us a little warning… that way we could have gotten some of your Aspen Grove Store employee discount before you quit!

    Yeah all *10%* of it, on non apple branded products only, etc… I can still get better at 15% via Apples friends and familiy discounts from friends.

    10% of a $600 dollar piece of software (the most expensive non apple thing) is only 60 bucks… woopee doo when your spending $600 already.

    Thatnks scott… I feel like it worked out, I had a great go at it… Retail just isnt my gig anymore. I used to own a cyber cafe so betweem those 5 years and the 1/2 year at Apple retail, I am done for good with retail. Unless I open my own store some day… Which I have always considered likely.
