Apple bribes engineers to stay in the flying saucer

Apparently it is no longer enough to work for them

After years of telling the world+dog that its staff were happy to work in the flying saucer in the hub of its cargo cult, Apple is now having to bribe engineers to stay there.

Apparently, Apple is paying six-figure "special retention grants" to a handful of hardware and software engineers.

The bonuses are worth between $100,000 and more than $200,000 in restricted stock units that vest over several years, providing another incentive for engineers to stay.

The bonuses show the level of insecurity that some of the top-paying companies in the industry feel in this tight market for tech talent. Apple and other tech giants are throwing more and more money at employees to retain them.
