I will never understand people who feel the need to bite the hand that feeds. She sounds more like she was pissed about not being able to continue to work remotely, so she trashed her company…which is about as progressive as companies get…for being sexist. 

Unbelievable. She should be grateful she has such an awesome job. There are probably thousands who would gladly take her place. 

You think that a hostile work environment is "such an awesome job"?

You're not in her place.  You have ZERO insight into this.  You're a male, at that.  Apple or any corp isn't "the hand that feeds".  Getting paid is *compensation* for work done.  It's not a gift. It's not a hand out.  It's a contracted agreement.

If someone's dad who knows sh*t about what's really going on with her situation feels free to be sexist and assuming and thinks he knows what's right for her and have nothing to gain or lose, what do you think the possibilities are for others at the Apple who equally do not know her specific circumstance but may have their job performance judged on how their handling of this affects the company?

Have a bit of empathy.  Or of you can't or won't muster that much, try some sympathy.  Still lacking that and feeling a bit sociopathic here?  Silence works.

Good lord she’s a piece of work.

You don't know anything about the situation, but feel free to be ignorant.

Wrong on both counts, but at least you’re consistent.

She's giving up a payout and staying and sticking up for current Apple employees.  You'd take the money and run, and leave others to go through what she did?  Is that the non-piece-of-work thing to do?

While I was an owner, and employer, in businesses, I would prefer Apple take some of those tens of billions they’re throwing away in stock buybacks, and give their employees better compensation in various ways. I don’t like the way things have been going. It used to be one of the best places to work, but it’s quickly becoming repressive. There’s no need for that, Apple can afford to do anything required to meet employee expectations.

And just how is working for Apple becoming “repressive”? All we know about the situation what we read in biased news media reports. All we’ve been presented with are one sided accounts of alleged employee incidents because that’s what gets clicks. As for employee expectations what is expected by retail floor sales clerks? $80K paychecks, 20 minute breaks every hour? What? Respect is a two way street. 

Human beings create the wealth of corporations.

Damn, and they pay the 30% App Store tax

Everyone downloads the app on Apple's dime.  Everyone knows about the app because of Apple.  Apple is the one-stop-shop and most KNOW about the app because of Apple.  any in-app packages are hosted by Apple.   

And oh, it's FREE, so let's see, ZERO x 30% is.... ZERO.

Governments do not create value and take from the productive through taxes. Parasites.

You're using the internet, drinking clean (for now) water , breathing clean (for now) air, possibly using roadways with the expectation that way finding information is in place and standardized, and that other vehicles on the roadway are similarly equipped with safety and signaling devices and are in reasonable working condition.

It’s not a reprisal if your employer tells you to work at the office and you refuse. 

That’s grounds for termination. 

If the job description says remote or temporarily remote, great. Once it shifts back to “on site,” you work on site or lose the job. 

That’s how things work in the real world. 

You do t make up your own job description unless you own the company. 

You shouldn't talk about 'the real world' as if you're accusing Apple employees or others of not knowing what it's like to work in it.  The hours put in, the missed weekends, the missed social time, family time, lost time due to travel back and forth.  The unyielding company towards you, but the company expecting everything from you.  Yeah, that's the real world, and not just at Apple.  But don't even imply that employees are somehow petulant for pushing back against all of that one-sided bullsh*t.

She's throwing in the entire kitchen sink. A common tactic with the hope that many of the claims makes it through. Given Apple's illegal tactics in the past (and ongoing bad acts in multiple jurisdictions), I'm sure at least some of the charges she's made will be allowed to go to trial.

Except you don't know the history of what's been required of her to get answers.

Hum, I’m not a Titter user, unless I’m following a link from elsewhere. But, it seems to me Musk is the only social media CEO who is not manipulating and attempting to control public opinion. That to me as a plus. I get that the so called left does not like him at all. 

That's hilarious.  You forgot the clown emoji, tho.

So every single PC or computer manufacturer can use modular RAM. Including servers, workstations, data centers, super computers. 

But somehow the Apple chips cannot and are trying to convince us that it is not just plain & simple greed??

Yes.  

Because a trillion dollar petroleum fund has the strong ethics to say no to income and wealth disparity.
