Apple cares about privacy, unless you work at Apple

After Preston gave notice, he received a checklist from his manager that explicitly said: “Do not wipe or factory reset any Apple owned units (such as laptops, Mac, ipads, and iPhones).”

...or what? Apple's going to sue a former employee because they did what they've always done when leaving a company: oopsie, you don't wipe machines here before giving them back? We did at the last two companies I worked at; really sorry about that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> Apple employees also can’t use their work email addresses to sign up for iCloud accounts, so many use their personal accounts.

This would be the main dealbreaker for me - if this was not negotiable I would just decline the job. If you’ve managed to get an offer at Apple you must have plenty of other opportunities so it shouldn’t be a big loss.

"She says her team discouraged the use of two phones;"

Thats the glitch right there. I have a work phone and I have a personal phone. Can't Apple employees do that?

Apple? Privacy? With the whole CSAM drama I think it was pretty apparent they no longer care about privacy.
