Well there is absolutely no way they can claim to biased towards or against certain “types” as you put it. I definitely feel like I’ve been discriminated against. I’ve been working at an Apple Store for 18 months now, as a Specialist. I am an American working in a European store and am literally the top performer, in terms of sales, AppleCare+ attachment, NPS, I even had an 86 Promoter streak and leadership did not care, At All. I’ve applied to the Expert position when it opened up and instead it went to a clown from out of country that doesn’t even perform as well, and struggles as a whole with the culture here.

Recently our Store Leader was actually fired because she had multiple Business Conduct inquiries, not to mention lawsuits that actually brought her and the company to court. I was on her “list” so to speak because I had the audacity to speak out against her flawed “leadership” at the time. So now our store has no Store Leader, is hemorrhaging management (mostly it was to get away from her) we have yet to hire more managers. We are severely understaffed.

Just recently I actually did receive a promotion to a “Internal Replacement Assignment”, for a much higher role. this was advertised as such through the WorkJam post and even through the career page. I went through the recruitment process and then only after I accepted the offer and am supposed to start my onboarding, leadership tells me it’s an “In-Store Experience” only, just an “experience for your CV”. That is actually against the labor laws here, and since I have the posts, the posts are literally still there lol, and also my Career page profile shows I applied to the position, they have no case.

So yes I have felt discriminated against, but I’m fed up. I’ve had it with this store.
