Would you work 10 hours for apple?

Amrat

I'm from India, and i have got the opportunity to work at apple retail store (Both selling and Service engineer). I'm college dropout and a hardcore gamer. Job timing is 9am to 7pm. If i work i only get 2-3 hours to play or surf the internet daily  -_- . The money is fine, i guess in india only, its 11k INR which is 180$ US dollars per month.

 

Is their anything better i can do? Thoughts? opinions?

The fact that it's for Apple should change nothing. I imagine it's pretty much like any other job in retail. I personally wouldn't want to work in retail if I could avoid it, but any job is better than no job to be honest.

Why not? Get the experience and go further in Apple or later on find a better job.

$180 a month!? Holy crap that's nothing! I expect everything is cheaper there? I wouldn't work for that but I don't how much money that is in India.

Where is the dislike button?  Know a bit of common knowledge about wages in different countries before blaming a company for offering 'low' wages.

I know in the Philippines you get paid dirt cheap compare to CAD but everything is cheaper to go with it. I assume in India its the same.

In Canada it would be yes, but we're talking about India here.....

Point taken. In the future, I don't know maybe 50 years down the road, when greedy companies can't exploit third world countries anymore due to either them getting out of third world status, or robots, I wonder how they will survive. (I'm on the side that calls bullshit to thier "Do you want us to raise the prices of our products? If not, it's inevitable hat we must outsource and exploit")

I think all of you misread my intentions of that comment. I'm pretty sure it's fair wages in India. What I'm saying is while I don't consider where I live as the standard, I'm commenting on how terrible those wages are and that Apple (and the rest of the world's corporations) should stop exploiting third world status. I am by no means saying "Don't take the job because it's a shitty pay".

You realize that this is a job in retail right? It has nothing to do with exploiting third world countries.

It's not them being exploited by a corporation, its how a fucking global economy works. Their currency is worth less, and their produce costs less. It balances out.

It's the same as how I earn twice as much as an electrician in Australia as I would in the USA, but shit costs more here anyway.

Its abit depending on how manny days a week. and what the worth of $180 in India is.

 

I would do it, if it seems right. you can do alot of experiance, and maybe you could even grow further into apple. or doing experiance for a better job later on.
