Apple Inc. plans to ease workers back into the office by the end of May with a flexible three-day-a-week work schedule, the company announced last week. To that, Apple employees say racist and sexist and neuro-normative.
Company employees have formed a workers’ rights group named Apple Together to fight back against the shield. These workers mean business.
Here’s the group’s response to having to work three days in an office, we highlighted the good parts:
Apple will likely always find people willing to work here, but our current policies requiring everyone to relocate to the office their team happens to be based in, and being in the office at least 3 fixed days of the week, will change the makeup of our workforce. It will make Apple younger, whiter, more male-dominated, more neuro-normative, more able-bodied, in short, it will lead to privileges deciding who can work for Apple, not who’d be the best fit.
Privileges like “being born in 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”. And privileges like being born into a gender that society doesn’t expect the majority of care-work from, so it’s easy to disappear into an office all day, without doing your fair share of unpaid work in society. Or being rich enough to pay others to do your care-work for you.
Instead of throwing money at the problem and just increasing referral bonuses to replace those of our colleagues, who left over the executive team’s inflexibility, how about we create a work environment where everyone, who wants to work at Apple, is able to do so?
So a hybrid workplace, three days in the office while two days remote, is an example of white-man supremacy. That damn white male privilege strikes again.
Say what you will about Apple products, but this is a company that needs new hiring practices immediately. Apple employees include failed sportscaster Katie Nolan, the now failing Jon Stewart, and all of these whiny schmucks who are using race to avoid having to take a shower before 3 pm.
An elite group, no doubt.
It’s unfortunate that Apple Together didn’t label the company’s return to office plans as transphobic. That’s always a good one. Try harder.
LOL eating their own
Pretty simple fire them if they don’t show up.
100%
What the fuck is “neuro-normative?” Sane? And who knew that if you were born in Palo Alto you automatically get a job at Apple? These people are fucking loons
The free money time is over, the tech companies are going to have to clean house and start working for their shareholders again; i.e., NFLX is dumping their dead weight, the Duchess of Sussex, and hopefully the overpaid Obamas will be next.
Just a bunch of pretentious daughters and sons of bitches that need a good old country ass whippin.
Probably wouldn’t hurt to kick the shit out of the parents as well.
Huh??? …. What is three levels beyond Double Talk Jibberish ??
.
These are the fucktards who eat tide pods, so…
The inmates have truly overtaken the asylum. So different from when I started working. Fire the brats!
From the Greatest Generation to these nitwits in just 75 years….
well said
One doesn’t have to wonder why this country is going to shit. The douche that owns Apple will cave.
Just fire them all. Snowflake babies who know nothing
The entitled, participation trophy extra special Gen Z’s showing their true colors. These crybabies would not have gotten within 10 miles of the beaches at Normandy or Iwo Jima before turning around.
10 miles? Hell, they would have never left their bedrooms. Curled up in the fetal position.
Just another example of the pussification of America.
The joke about these Apple employees is that they are framing their argument in an absolute looney-tune way, not that they don’t want to return to the office. They are tech employees. Tech employees do not need to be in an office. I have been able to make life changes for the better due to the fact that I am allowed to work from home permanently. Apple forcing employees to be in an office when they don’t need to be is an example of an out-of-touch corporation that doesn’t want to choke away the millions they invest in corporate office space so they can have a brainwashed population of woke employees.
Good grief! What a bunch of entitled pussies! Oh well, you are what you create. Apple management help make this happen. This is what happens when your company gets infected by wokeism.
