In your opinion, what benefits should an Apple employee receive after completing 10 years? Here is what the employees are getting for their loyalty to the company. On the other hand, while big tech companies are laying off their employees, Apple has given their employees a special gift since last year. In fact, iPhone maker Apple has given a special gift to its employees who have worked loyally for the company for the last 10 years. For this, some special employees have been selected from the company, who have received a square slab of aluminium, a polishing cloth and a note signed by Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook from the company.

This gift received by employees from Apple was first opened by a YouTuber. He unboxed the gift box in a video, where he found a thank-you note from Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook written for the employees. Apple has been giving such special gifts to its employees for their loyalty for the completion of the tenure in the company. A YouTuber unveiled a heavy silver-toned square with a shiny black Apple logo on it.

The note reads “Congratulations on reaching this milestone moment. The work you’ve done, the challenges you’ve met and the breakthroughs you’ve made possible – they all add up to a profound and lasting contribution to Apple’s mission to change the world for the better. On behalf of everyone at Apple, thank you for all you bring to our journey together.” The gift box also includes Apple’s polishing cloth. This cloth drew a lot of flak when it was released with a hefty price tag in India. In India, the polished cloth which is primarily used to clean gadgets costs about Rs 1900.

The metal which is used in making the products has been used in the gift also. 10 has also been engraved on the gift indicating the completion of 10 years with the company of the employees, apart from this, the date of joining and the name of the employees who are being given this special gift, is written on it.

On a related note, iPhone maker Apple is one of the giants in the tech sector and it always takes special care of its employees. Since last year, big corporations like Google and Facebook have laid off their employees due to the huge recession in the tech sector. But it did not affect Apple, and it has not laid off its employees. Apple has laid off employees from third-party agencies who work with Apple on a project basis.

Many competitors, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, have fired thousands of workers. 12,000 people were let go by Google across all of its global businesses. Amazon has made the decision to reduce its staff by 18,000 workers. Late last year, Meta fired off 11,000 workers. Although there were rumours that job cuts might not be the final step, company executive Andy Stone has refused those claims.

The Youtuber revealed that there are more versions as well. “20 years is a Space Grey Aluminium, 30 years is a Silver Stainless Steel and 40 years is a Space Grey Stainless Steel,” he said.

After posting the video on Youtube, it got mixed reactions from viewers. Few of them were Apple employees who said they had received or were soon to receive the award. While others poked “You’ve spent 10 years with us … here’s a chunk of metal.”

“Thank you for working for us for 10 years, here’s a useless chunk of metal you’ll probably put on ebay to buy one of our products,” the other person wrote.
