Badge of honour
Some companies not only haven an areshole culture, they turn against others who do not support their arsehole ways. Here in Berlin the company I used to work for had a culture of defamation against ex employees, even going so far as to ask others to forward emails far and wide about former people were no longer employed by the company. I consider such defamatory action as a badge of honour.
Is this the same kiddie that gets Assange's mail from the post off at UniMelb PO BOX that is wikileaks? If he doesn't join Apple then he is on the right career path for join wikileaks.
