        "content": "<p>Apple is attempting to halt the phenomenon of employees resigning to\nmove to competitor companies. One approach is by providing bonuses worth\nhundreds of thousands of US dollars to the iPhone Product Design team. A\nBloomberg report states that the bonuses aim to prevent team members\nfrom being recruited by other companies, as cited from MacRumors on\nFriday (27\/3\/2026). The bonuses will be in the form of restricted stock\nunits (RSUs), provided gradually over four years. To receive the full\nvalue, employees must remain working at Apple. The bonuses will range\nfrom US$200,000 (Rp3.3 billion) to US$400,000 (Rp6.7 billion) or\npossibly more, depending on Apple\u2019s stock performance in the coming\nyears. Several Apple employees are known to have joined other companies.\nOne major tech rival aggressively poaching Apple employees is OpenAI.\nOpenAI has recruited several iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro\nengineers. Approximately 40 former Apple employees have been hired by\nthe company behind ChatGPT. Similar bonuses were given by Apple in 2021\nand 2022. At that time, bonuses were provided to engineers in silicon\ndesign, hardware, software, and operations. The reason is the same: to\nprevent employees from being poached by others. Additionally, to improve\nemployee retention.<\/p>",
