“but rather was driven by the company's 'fear of the future of work, fear of worker autonomy [and] fear of losing control.' Although Apple will 'likely always find people willing to work here,' the group wrote, the shift back to working in the office will 'change the makeup of [the company's workforce].' 'It will lead to privileges deciding who can work for Apple, not who’d be the best fit,' the group wrote.”

What you get when you raise a coddled generation who has never been told no or had to make hard choices.

Opposing the return to office is racist because it furthers the stereotype that minorities lack work ethic. Pretty easy to come up with a pretext to call anything racist.

Exactly how does ending work from home make the workforce more young, white and male?

I want to know and analyze how this mechanism works.

Wow, that's the whiniest screed I've ever read.

I know which employees would be the first to get the axe if I was in charge. 'Privileges like “being born in the the right place so you don’t have to relocate”, or “being young enough to start a new life in a new city/country” or “having a stay-at-home spouse who will move with you."'

It's a PRIVILEGE to be young??? Father time doesn't see it that way. Time stands still for no man.

What is wrong with these kooks? Are they looking for a no-work "job" where they can coast all day long at home with nobody checking in on them?

I love how they wrote “Office-bound work is a technology from the last century.”

Is having a boss a technology from the last century?

The Chinese will surpass us for sure with such entitled snowflakes.

We are slowly working to eliminate as many as possible of these only want to work from home crybabies over the next year and a half at my company. We’ve had it with these entitled losers.

They make me sick. Ungrateful for their jobs. As a manager I just shake my head. We are simply asking for 3 days a week in the office, and you would think we are torturing these babies by how they act.

At some point, and hopefully some point soon, corporate executives are going to begin realizing there is absolutely no benefit in pandering to self-important wokesters.

It's like kowtowing to third graders.

“I been workin’ for Apple for ten years and was president of the African-American Association at the company headquarters. Then came COVID and we all started to work from home. I was happy until they said we had to come back two days a week. Both days, when I walked into the company headquarters, I suddenly turned white! And started actin’ white, too! And suddenly, half the membership of the African-American Association also turned white! THAT is how the culture and makeup of the work force will change! The CEO needs to reconsider the impact on his workforce before making these dictator-like commands.”

Id like to start filing lawsuits about the obvious opposite hiring biases in teaching, government, mass media, nursing, daycare workers, and also demand more representation of women in dangerous and unpleasant jobs like sanitation, linesmen, animal processors, active military.

Lets get nuts, if you wanna get nuts.

Also homophobic. They forgot to mention homophobic.

Tim Cook is gay. These Apple employees are homophobic!

Apple better make them come back to work or management will lose control of the workforce. FIRE EVERY SINGLE PERSON who disobeys the order. There is no negotiating here.

These people and party are the island of misfit toys. Broken. Despondent. Zero coping skills.

There are a lot of exceptions to "at will." That's what keeps employment discrimination lawyers in business.

Yes. As Scott Adams showed in his satirical office writings in the 1990s, the "pointy haired boss" is often the weakest link.

Today's professional may be an independent contractor, entrepreneur, self-employed, or be the subordinate who's actually keeping the boss from bad decisions.

More and more work is based on deliverables where the boss is reviews and approves time sheets. They don't even review the work anymore; the client does.

A boss became extraneous in corporate environments once they could no longer hire and fire as necessary but were instead told to "make it work" with the "team" that "human resources" gave them.

The boss is little more than a yes-man or yes-woman.

The boss is very often a token hire with the pronouns and/or pigmentation and really not making any decisions at all.
