Both companies reward employees with "extrinsic' and "intrinsic" benefits much like Apple does today. The engineer jobs were just as "dead-end" as retail sales although median wages were much higher than the local minimum.

With merit raises of up to 25%, stock grants, hardware purchase discounts, etc, Apple is offering their "grunts" better Bennie's than my industry leaders ever did. But perhaps by attracting such youth, they experience early "burn-out" much like Wall St workaholics did in my day.
