Reply to comment by NavyPirate in Apple employees face reprisals, possible termination over return to office policy by OutlandishnessOk2452

It’s the companies policy that they just enacted, after years of it not being. Your statement would make sense if these employees didn’t just spend years at home keeping the company afloat, only to be told to comply with the new policy or leave.

The only reason those employees stayed at home is because of COVID. With the pandemic behind us, each company is at will to adjust their WFH policies as they require it. Apple is asking employees to come to the office three days a week. If employees want to WFH exclusively, they are free to apply to other departments or companies.

They aren’t asking anything, that’s the point. Employees all over the world stepped up and kept these companies afloat during mass shut downs, and in times when they would’ve otherwise gone under, or atleast not been profitable. The thanks they get is to be forced to come back it. When instead they should be enticing or at least only asking employees to come back in.

they are not required to ask, only to announce.

Of course the aren’t required to ask, my post never said they were.

I’m not sure if you’ve been reading other comments in the thread here. There are lots of people not even getting calls back for job interviews. The market is flooded with tech workers from all the layoffs. Having an amazing resume at this point doesn’t guarantee you anything. Apple is trying to avoid laying people off and paying severance pay by trimming the workforce by inconveniencing them instead.
