Where do you work?

Apple!

That sounds good.

However, technology companies such as Apple do not only have high paying and welfare siege Lions, but also a large number of lower-paid logistics staff. Last month joint Venture Silicon Valley published a survey that said Silicon Valley technicians had an average annual salary of $119,000, while the average annual salary of the logistics service staff was only 27,000 dollars.

In addition to low pay, logistics services are often "differentiated" by technology companies, such as Apple's lawsuit against temporary wages, and Microsoft's more ruthless, which last July exposed a memo restricting temporary workers ' access to Microsoft's building and network. For logistics service personnel, in the suffering of all kinds of discomfort at the same time, and no positive hope, at any time may be left out, really bitter.

However, the situation is improving.

According to WSJ News, Apple will hire a large wave of full-time security personnel, mainly by the previous temporary security personnel and some security industry experts, the specific figures have not been disclosed. Unlike in the past, these security personnel will have the official establishment of Apple, enjoy the health insurance, pensions, child insurance and other employee benefits provided by Apple.

The welfare of Apple's official employees 36 Krypton reported before:

Buy Apple product discounts; Do not encourage overtime, if overtime can be 1.5 times times in exchange for wages or conversion of annual leave, 2000 yuan per year fitness costs by ticket reimbursement, 300 yuan per month clothing costs included in the salary; next year, start offering online Stanford health counseling and start reimbursing you for tuition and work-related courses next year; Starting next year, the employee or employee's spouse can enjoy the benefits of a frozen egg; a disease can be booked and treated at a designated hospital when it starts work or travel in the United States next year; the employee donates to the Social welfare agency, and Apple will donate the same amount to the Agency;

The large number of temporary security personnel to become a positive, Apple said it is because the company is in the security work for a one-year recovery, as to whether the future will continue to hire full-time security personnel, there is no clear plan.

The bigger backdrop is that Silicon Valley technology companies are increasingly focusing on the logistics staff as the unions move forward. Last fall, Google hired 200 full-time security personnel, while Teamsters union, which recommended bus drivers for 6 companies such as Apple and Facebook, signed a more lucrative driver contract with Facebook last month.
