In the early morning of April 16, Beijing time, according to business insider, two venture capitalists revealed that Apple employees are sending resumes to start-ups, which has never happened before.
One of the venture capitalists said: 'on the whole, Apple's executives and employees are more and more dissatisfied, and they are more and more willing to leave and switch to other companies. 'another venture capitalist also said that the number of resumes from Apple employees has increased significantly recently. After interviewing a number of Apple employees looking for jobs, the venture capitalist pointed out that there are two reasons for this phenomenon: one is that start-ups pay more, and the other is that 'under the leadership of the new leadership, apple culture has begun to change'.
John Gruber, author of darling fireball, a well-known US technology blog, said a month ago that the problem of talent retention has become "the biggest problem Apple faces, but few people talk about it.". He said: 'I think if there's a big problem for apple, it's most likely that engineers and general design talent are losing. '
Industry insiders pointed out that Gruber has a strong voice in the brain drain issue because he has close ties with Apple employees and rarely makes alarmist remarks about Apple. Gruber said that in the month since he issued the warning, the pace of Apple employees' turnover has not 'accelerated' or 'slowed down'.
"The consensus among the people I've talked to about this is that Apple's employees are leaving not because the company is about to sink, but because people want to take advantage of Apple's success to get better jobs, and this trend is inevitable," he said. '
Gruber said: 'there is a high demand for Apple employees, which is why Apple is facing a retention problem. '
An apple spokesman declined to comment on the news.
