Always sad to see employees treated like this by the products I/we love. Sadly, I use Apple products myself (yes, Samsung users, I know “they suckz!!” let’s move on shall we?) and fully understand the harsh working conditions and poor compensation the items I love are probably putting the ppl that make them. I think about this everytime I upgrade every year. I tell myself that my individual purchase or lack thereof will not change the practices of a company that sells billions. In the overall scope of things, what I do or do not do is insignificant, so why worry about others. I know this isn’t really true (as this same thought is why the big corp succeed in doing this in the first place). Perhaps I am bring selfish. No, I know I am. I really can’t offer any justification for this, this is just me. I am playing RDR2 as soon as I am done typing this. I am perhaps too old to change and too selfish to care enough to do so.
That said, they should really protect themselves from this practice. Business don’t learn when you don’t create expensive precedences. Someone has to stand up (and be black listed) and sue these companies for better conditions for everyone else. This will likely be the end of their career, but companies will never learn and the vast majority of consumers will never sacrifice their conveniences for the sake of some stranger far away as they feel that they have their own problems to deal with.
