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

    ThomasTheTankieThomasTheTankie
    What's the functional reason for requiring the employees to come back in the office? This "culture" stuff is all very hand-wavy and lacks clarity of functional requirement. It has not at all been demonstrated that past successes were due to in-person interactions.

    Some possible functional reasons to require people to collaborate in the company's space rather than in their own:

    1. The ideas they share when in the company's space can be claimed by the company as property.

    2. The management can exert physical and social pressure on conformity with management goals and ideas by manipulating the space and how the workers are encouraged and allowed to move, speak, and work within it.
