There is little chance for building connections at Apple. "Everyone is doing their own thing and has their own assignment, and we don't see each other outside of work," said Ramos in Spanish.

Interesting article showing the difference in corporate culture that has developed in America. This little excerpt shows the difference between the opportunities offered Gail Evans and Marta Ramos. Ramos is an unmarried mother of four that does not speak English. What does the future hold for her, regardless of how hard she works, not much.

Marta Ramos needs to become a janitor at the United States Post Office. Instead of making $16 per hour without benefits at Apple, she will make more than $50,000 annually ($25 per hour)plus very handsome benefits.

Isn’t big government wonderful? Go to open the books and check what the custodian at your post office is taking down.

I read the whole article online. The difference between the two is not even apples and oranges, it’s apples & hamburgers! Gail Evans who worked for Kodak had hustle & drive to improve her life and moved way up. She was smart.

Ramos has FOUR children and can’t speak English. Not a comparable situation. When you have 4 kids you can’t afford and you can’t speak the language of the country you’re living in.........well, it is an awfulness of your own making. And the taxpayers of course are helping you.

It’s strange, but I could not conceive of moving to a foreign country and burdening the people there w/ my financial and language fails.

During all this, Apple has risen and Kodak has fallen. Reminds me of that movie, A Star is Born.

As usual, the liberals squeal about something and they’re the worst offenders.
