Problems for Apple Inc seem to be increasing. The mobile and computer maker has recently witnessed a wave of resignation on the topmost level as its executives depart. The firm which is known for its consistent positioning at the top of the game is seeing an unprecedented level of turnovers.

As per Economic Times, starting the second half of last year, the company has lost about a dozen of its high-ranking executives. As per the report, most of them were very important people, vital to the day-to-day functioning of the company. They were mostly at the vice president level and reported directly to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tim Cook.

This is not to say that there is no influx of executives, there is. Apple recently brought in a new chief people officer to take over the duties of the retail boss, Deirde O’Brien. A new chief information officer was hired to replace Mary Demby and David Smoley.

However, these are the exceptions. In most cases, the duties of the departed people have been redistributed to those within the organisation.

Reports suggest that this might be due to the growing burden of responsibilities placed on managers as well as other factors like bureaucracy.&nbsp;In recent years, the company “has become more bureaucratic over the years, especially when it comes to product development,” writes Bloomberg.

Internal politics is reportedly another factor that makes it harder to navigate. As per the report, “there are quite a few vice presidents at Apple who have been there for decades and could retire in the next few years.”&nbsp;

Apple's top executives are leaving at a breakneck speed. Here's why

Workers at Apple's Grand Central Station store announced Monday they are organizing to establish a union, in what would be a first at one of the tech giant's retail locations in the United States.

The effort, calling itself "Fruit Stand Workers United," aims to garner signatures from at least 30 per cent of the New York store, the minimum needed to qualify for a unionization election.

The campaign is connected to Workers United, an affiliate of the national Service Employees International Union, which was established in 2009 by several earlier unions.&nbsp;

Workers United confirmed its involvement.

"Like so many recent campaigns, this has been worker-driven, and worker led," Workers United said in an email. "We recognize the tremendous bravery and courage these workers have taken to stand up for their rights, and we will support them every step of the way."

Organizers of the Grand Central campaign described themselves as working in "extraordinary times with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and once-in-a-generation consumer price inflation," though their website did not disclose the name of staff members leading the effort.

"Grand Central is an extraordinary store with unique working conditions that make a union necessary to ensure our team has the best possible standards of living," the workers said on the campaign website for the prospective union.

The Apple effort comes as a Starbucks unionization drive backed by Workers United has spread nationally after election victories last year in New York.&nbsp;

Amazon is also facing a growing challenge from unions after an upstart campaign won an election at a warehouse in nearby Staten Island earlier this month. A vote at a second Staten Island Amazon site is scheduled for later in April.

On Monday, the National Labor Relations Board, which oversees union elections, indicated it received enough signatures from another Amazon warehouse to hold a vote in Bayonne, New Jersey at a site with about 200 workers.

Employees working in at least three other Apple stores are also attempting to organize, according to The Washington Post.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from AFP.
