Apple employees threaten to quit as company takes hard line stance on remote work
I’m assuming pre-pandemic, these were employees that were hired to work in the office five days a week. Now they are going to get to work two days a week remotely, and they’re going to quit over that?

What MagSafe on the iPhone 12 is, how it works, and what can it do
I assumed that was an alignment magnet.Japhey said:
Good question...I wondered that myself. I wish they had options so the circle would match the color of the iPhone instead of being such a bright white. Maybe in future versions? Also, I hope that the wallet and sleeves are offered in silicon at some point as not everyone enjoys leather.bageljoey said:My question is: what is that oval under the MagSafe circle on the clear cases. Is it functional or decorative?

Apple employees threaten to quit as company takes hard line stance on remote work
Presumably, these workers were hired to work in the office. Apple made temporary accommodations during the pandemic so they could work remotely.dysamoria said:The anti-worker hostility shown here is callous, presumptuous, and generally appalling. None of you have any idea what any of these employees’ lives are like.
The reason Apple wants to force every worker into being on site for a certain percentage of time probably has a lot more to do with making sure their insanely expensive building/campus isn’t sitting empty, because that would be embarrassing for a company that cares a lot about their image.
It’s been noted that people don’t like working there. Open floor plans and glass walls/doors suck for actual humans and productivity. The main building is like the Powermac G4 cube and the trashcan Mac Pro: all form; poorly-considered function.
Then there’s the basic fact that the 40-hour workweek and officespace culture is just plain unhealthy.
Instead of being bitter about what you see as “entitled” employees who should get shit on just the same as you do, maybe think about trying to raise the bar for EVERYONE (which includes yourselves). Stop licking the corporate boot and acting like you’re living vicariously through the boot wearers.
Now those temporary accommodations are coming to an end. Apple wants the people that they hired to be in the office back in the office.
The workers don’t want to come back into the office. They are certainly entitled to request that they can work remotely, but that doesn’t mean Apple has to accommodate that, since they weren’t hired with that stipulation.

Or people could have updated to iOS 7crowley said:Not a fan of functionality being removed from my devices with conditions attached to putting it back. Apple should've been slapped harder.
