Subject:          An Even More Entrepreneurial Apple
From xx Wed Aug 13 16:16:14 1997


As you can imagine, many of you have expressed your displeasure with our 
decision regarding the sabbatical program.  All I can say is, "You ain't 
seen nothin' yet."  You've all become lazy, and only contribute to 
Apple's current situation.  The only way to save this company is to drive 
out the loyal employees who have not yet realized their inadequacy.


We are following up with additional steps which will take Apple back to 
its roots as a more entrepreneurial company.  They are:






1.  Lay-Offs


In lieu of laying people off, we are redeploying unneeded workers as 
janitorial staff. Salaries will be adjusted accordingly.






2.  Sick Time


It will not longer be possible to call in sick.  Any employee who cannot 
make it into work due to illness will need take a vacation day or go 
without pay.






3.  Weekly Hours


Pay checks will now be issued monthly for four 30-hour work weeks. 
However, each employee is required to work diligently on Apple business 
for at least 60 hours each week. Not meeting this requirement is a 
terminable offense.






4.  Parking


A daily fee will be charged for parking your car in any Apple lot or 
garage. Parking garages will cost $5 per day, and parking lots will cost 
$3.50 per day.


Only I will be allowed to park in handicapped spaces. Any other vehicle 
found parked in an Apple handicapped parking space will be towed. Persons 
who are physically disabled will receive a $5 reimbursement for towing 
expenses upon convincing the Executive Team that they are actually 
disabled.






Thank you for your support.


Steve and the Executive Team
