Publicly shaming someone for something harmless, no matter how stupid, is also not normal and you probably need to know that.

That's it? I was expecting some type of customer service problems. Is this in BR? I have to go there to get a new screen and if I would not have seen this thread I would have gone without having a mask with me.. And I would be pissed if I went there and had to go back to get mask..

But they have a right to implement their own policies, I rather not stress myself out over what policies a store decides to implement.

As for as the pronoun thing. Its fricking stupid, but I honestly don't give a frick if someone has their pronoun on their name tag. It doesn't have any impact on me whatsoever.

Be an adult and stop acting like a bitch,

You can’t reason with lunacy so the best method is to ridicule it.

So Apple is the only company/corporation that is a cult? All corporations are a cult in their own right.

Either way, you have to learn how to pick your own battles and this is one that really isn't work the time.

You liberals get so mad when someone starts a thread about your insane belief system. As if typing on a message board is equal to blocking an interstate or looting a Target. OP is probably just killing time while taking a dump and you want to act like he’s going postal on public.

Man I thought you were still banned.

All of this has already been covered in the thread, you bring nothing of substance to it.

Why would you "go back" to anything when they were handing out masks at the door?

Calling out stupid policies is not "acting like a bitch".

Cook has foster spoiled behavior and identity politics amongst employees.

Now some are using Inclusion and Diversity as argument to keep flexibility and working wherever and their choice.

quote:

Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our well-being, and being empowered to do our best work, or being a part of Apple. This is a decision none of us take lightly, and a decision many would prefer not to have to make.


quote:

Over the last year we often felt not just unheard, but at times actively ignored. Messages like, 'we know many of you are eager to reconnect in person with your colleagues back in the office,' with no messaging acknowledging that there are directly contradictory feelings amongst us feels dismissive and invalidating. Not only do many of us already feel well-connected with our colleagues worldwide, but better connected now than ever. We've come to look forward to working as we are now, without the daily need to return to the office. It feels like there is a disconnect between how the executive team thinks about remote / location-flexible work and the lived experiences of many of Apple's employees.


quote:

We ask for your support in enabling those who want to work remotely / in location-flexible ways to continue to do so, letting everyone figure out which work setup works best for them, their team, and their role — be it in one of our offices, from home, or a hybrid solution. We are living proof that there is no one-size-fits-all policy for people. For Inclusion and Diversity to work, we have to recognize how different we all are, and with those differences, come different needs and different ways to thrive. We feel that Apple has both the responsibility to recognize these differences, as well as the capability to fully embrace them.

Yeah I saw that article and read the open letter from Apple employees.

Everybody likes working from home in their jammies and people don't want to head back to the office now.

I'm sure the time and cost of the work commute has nothing to do with it. It must be about diversity and inclusion.

These companies that went all in on the WFH bandwagon are reaping what they have sown.

Actually posting on my laptop.

I don't hate my phone, it usually works pretty well and I've been using the 6S for 4 years or so.

I do push back on retarded policies that pander to the mentally ill among us.

I don't like everything Ford does either but that doesn't mean I burn my car to the ground in protest.
