The generous stock bonus is supposed to convince important employees to stay with Apple instead of flirting with one of the many competitors who continuously try to snatch highly qualified software developers and hardware engineers from the Cupertino-based iPhone maker.

Another stupid move by Apple. For all the hundreds of thousands of employees who did NOT get a ridiculous bonus, they want you to leave ASAP. Remember, you're Little People. "Let them eat cake."
Does the bonus apply if you're not a woke snowflake? 🤣
