Woke v woke = tears for me to lick

[joma89]

And so the racists are being racists while accusing others of being racist.

[Moorings]

Also homophobic. They forgot to mention homophobic.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Years ago the phrase was:

“Don’t let the door hit your butt as you leave.”””

I despise Gates and hate Windows but I’d never buy an Apple product despite the aforementioned .

...without doing your fair share of unpaid work in society.

Come on - they really want their fair share of unworked-for pay - which is far harder to extract in an office environment.

[Fungi]

The new woke ten commandments;

1. racism
2. racism
3. racism
4. racism
5. racism
6. racism.
7. racism
8. racism
9. racism
10. if you fail to see the previous nine, you are a racist.

[Still Thinking]

Even if true, the statement depends on disparate impact, which is patently bullshit.

[Bernard]

Apple does best when it relies on Chinese Muslim slave labor. Fewer employee relations required.

[plangent]

Well, some folks at Apple understand where the creativity, enthusiasm, and results come from.

[It Aint Easy]

Ugh the entitled crowd. You don’t have to work for apple, they are choosing to.

Office numbers are going to return, I don’t see how work from home works if you are to manage/supervise people. Contact employees, yes, they are paid for services rendered, but for daily people on the books you want them showing up, even if it’s only a day a week.

Why pay an American high wages to work from home when you can pay someone pennies on the dollar in a third world country?

[Leaning Right]

> A group of Apple employees have accused the big-tech giant of racism... <

The more I think of it, the more I’m sure this saying is true:
The first person who mentions race is the racist.

[Da Coyote]

One must note that the only criteria for returning staff to the office would be to make the company “better”, such as more profitable.

And also note that that younger, whiter, and more male dominated might or might not make the company better in that sense.

As is demonstrated daily, woke = far far beyond stupid.

[bigbob]

Bunch a whiner who don’t want to work more than 4-5 hours a day and wear something besides yoga pants.

[SuperLuminal]

Dang it!
Had hoped they wouldn’t have noticed that optimum form of racism....

Next thing they will get pissed about is that the new office dress-code requires wearing a white pointed hat and a sheet with a garage-door pull-down as a necktie...

What is the world coming to?

[Nifster]

Oh boo hoo

[gov_bean_ counter]

“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.

[FreedomForce]

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.

[Secret Agent Man]

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.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

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?
