Apple employees threaten to quit as company takes hard line stance on remote work:

Apple employees claim the company is not budging on plans to institute a hybrid work model for corporate workers and is in some cases denying work-from-home exceptions, including one accommodation covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In June, Apple announced a hybrid work schedule that will see employees return to the office for three days a week starting in September, a shift toward normal corporate operations after the pandemic forced a lengthy work-from-home period. Days later, participants of what is assumed to be the same remote work advocacy Slack channel cited by The Verge asked more flexibility, saying that working from home brings a number of benefits including greater diversity and inclusion in retention and hiring, tearing down previously existing communication barriers, better work life balance, better integration of existing remote / location-flexible workers, and reduced spread of pathogens.

That request was flatly denied. In a video to employees late last month, SVP of retail and people Deirdre O'Brien toed the company line on remote work policies, saying, "We believe that in-person collaboration is essential to our culture and our future. If we take a moment to reflect on our unbelievable product launches this past year, the products and the launch execution were built upon the base of years of work that we did when we were all together in-person."

    No shit, Sherlock, remote workers figured out that they could do 2 hours a day of actual work, maybe a Zoom meeting here and there, and still get paid full salary. And Zoom meetings are minimized by mutual unspoken agreement because fags, women, and trannies don't like to have to look at their own faces -- and boy, do these companies hire a lot of fags, women, and trannies!

    All these big Jew-run companies that chose to play along with the Globalist pandemic scam are now trying to walk back the consequences of their "new normal." I could understand smaller companies doing this, because the Jew-run large-loaners like Blackrock and Vanguard insist on their clients adopting Judeo-Bolshevik values and mandatory vaccinations before the loans are dispensed (didn't know that, didya? An extra machine or more factory space paid for with a Blackrock loan makes a huge difference in growing a medium-sized business). But Apple don't need to do that because they have so much fucking money and guaranteed revenue streams from cultist consumerist hipster faggots and Mexicans who work but live with their parents until age 35.

    Though in Apple's case, it shouldn't affect 'em much since they're Just Another Chinese Crap Vendor who haven't innovated shit in the past 15 years. They're pretty much like Hollywood, sequel after sequel with quality getting worse and zero fucking innovation. But still, it's amusing watching these companies who are between a rock and a hard place, who have painted themselves into a corner, try to desperately reconcile that they want everybody back in the office with vaccination being a condition to do so, while people who have been vaccinated are still getting the 'Rona and being told to mask up.

    So now remote workers can leverage the company's own bullshit excuses against it in not wanting to risk infection, while the Jewish management have to bite their lip in respecting a "pandemic" they know to be complete bullshit, while more and more believe vaccines to be complete bullshit because they don't prevent infection.

    Meanwhile, Apple can't do shit about all their dead-weight and lazy diversity candidates working from home because that would be racist. So they could try lowering remote workers' salaries and making negative cost of living adjustments depending on location. The former would work because Apple employees are essentially cult members who are worked like dogs to serve their messiah, the latter can and should be gamed quite easily.
