Are the comments coming from across the country? As I said, there's a regional sup. who probably has some fence mending to do. If this were systemic, my concern would increase. But, then again, I've never worked in an Apple store. Doesn't Apple get high marks in companies to work for?

Washington Apple Store Walk-Out Averted Sources say Washington walk-out canceled After rumors of an employee walk-out at a Washington Apple Store arose, numerous people familiar with the matter have told AppleInsider the issue has been resolved. Earlier this week, claims of a potential demonstration among employees and ex-workers of the Alderwood Mall store in Lynnwood, Wash., surfaced. Sources have now told AppleInsider that while some issues with the store management remain, the alleged walk-out, reportedly planned for Oct. 3, is no more. One source said that while the situation might have warranted a walk-out, most of the workers at the Alderwood Mall store would not have participated. The person said that the problem stemmed not from Apple, but from management at the store. "We have to sell certain amounts of One to One, Apple Care and Mobile Me," the person said. "If the store reaches its goal, the management gets a big bonus. It's not Apple policy, just our management taking things too far." The person said that employees are upset, some have contacted human resources, and some have quit.
