According to CCTV Finance and Economics, Apple recently issued a batch of bonuses to some engineers in the chip design, hardware, software, operation and other teams, ranging from $50,000 to $180,000 (about 320,000 yuan to 1.15 million yuan).
Apple's reason for handing out bonuses to employees is simple, that is, to increase the capital of the "talent war" with other companies in Silicon Valley. Uncle Ge You once said in "No Thief in the World": "What is the most expensive in the 21st century, talent!" "Especially in the high-tech industry, the importance of talent is self-evident.
As the world's highest market capitalization and top five companies in research and development investment, Apple has about 150,000 employees, which is a wealth of talents, and it is common for other companies to dig into the wall. In the past few months, Apple has poached about 100 engineers by Meta (formerly Facebook), who were originally mainly affiliated with Apple's VR, AR, smartwatches and other fields.
In recent years, XR has always been a cutting-edge technology, and this year it has been helped by the concept of meta-universe, and AR and VR talents are becoming more and more important. Facebook changed its name to Meta, confirmed the complete transformation into a meta-universe company, that must be at any cost to recruit VR, AR talent, Apple is undoubtedly a good choice for Meta, headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, not too far away.

In order to retain these employees, Apple had to pay an additional bonus in addition to the base salary, stock rewards, and cash rewards. However, it is this bonus that has caused an uproar within Apple, because not everyone has it, and not everyone has the same bonus, which has led many Apple employees to be dissatisfied, believing that Apple's selection process is unfair.
This made Xiao Lei think of the "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan 4" in which He Yan was responsible for repairing the four libraries of the whole book, in order to encourage everyone to repair the book, he issued a car and horse fee to everyone, and as a result, everyone thought that they should take more, others did not deserve the same as their own, but made everyone unwilling to continue to repair the book.
Apple is now in a dilemma, employees who do not give money will be dug into the wall, and there will be conflicts between employees who have given money, and between employees and the company. Internal is not widowed and uneven, and external companies such as Meta are eyeing Apple employees, and it is estimated that Cook has recently been tossed enough.
However, this internal contradiction is not difficult to solve, it is not a big deal that everyone gives a little more bonus, anyway, Apple's family is big, not afraid of this little money, retaining talents is Apple's top priority.
