Transparency | Apple reportedly tells staff to openly discuss pay, in move away from secrecy

Apple, the tech giant known for its secrecy and sanctioning of staff who reveal company information, has reportedly told employees that they are open to discuss wages and working conditions.

Gizchina reports that the iPhone maker posted on its company intranet page this week, reminding staff that it was not against their policies to talk about pay, not just with other colleagues, but in public forums also.

The Chinese gadget reviews website said: “This move comes at a time when some employees are pushing Apple to take more measures to eliminate unfair pay differences within the company.”

Apple’s Code of Business Conduct stipulates that it does not restrict employees from discussing wages, working hours, and working environment.
