Personnel changes in the Retail Store: Apple admits "error"


Apple has several reports on what it should have come in recent weeks to personnel actions in the chain store of the computer company, raised for the first time. A spokeswoman told the business news agency Dow Jones, the amendments were "a mistake". "You will now be undone." The staff are Apple's "greatest asset". They provided the clients in over 300 shops, "World Class Service".

According to Dow Jones, the new Apple retail boss John Browett to himself, who has only been four months in office have admitted fault. In a message to the store bosses he had told, Apple has tested a "new staffing formula." This has meant that some employees would get their working hours reduced and some stores were understaffed. This is "a few weeks," said left before Apple had used his old system again. Browett asked his manager to inform the employee that Apple "screwed up" was, two sources told Dow Jones: "We messed up"

Apparently no one should have been dismissed from the action. However, this contradicts reports of professional service ifo Apple Store, and the Mac-portal MacRumors, which relied on store-crews. Both had reported that Apple has also released new recruits again. However, numbers were never called.

To have been affected by staff reductions particularly part-time employees whose reduced number of hours to major financial losses resulted. Dow Jones names a person who lost at least $ 1,000 in salary. ifo Apple Store had earlier reported that Browett would set up the stores, "lean" to get more profit. On this subject, did not comment on Apple.

The new Apple retail boss John Browett had first made popular with the store employees by announcing salary increases. Browett was considered an unusual choice because he had previously worked at the Media Markt or Saturn with comparable UK discount electrical chain Dixons. Apple is however as high-end retail.
