Got it, you are an entitled whiny crybaby.

Right, because I’m one of those crying, stomping my feet, and sitting down on the floor screaming “Noooo, I don’t wanna go back to the ho-wible office (sticks pacifier in their mouth)!”
 
Do you know what it means to imply something? Your implication was that the people telling Apple they wanted to work from home were slackers and would make Apple a better company if they left.
Yes, and your implication was that workers that were demanding that Apple allow them to WFH 100% of the time were more productive and highly skilled then the plebs that show up at the office three days a week.

No it wasn't, I clearly stated that where one desires to work from has no bearing on whether they're a good, productive employee or not. A good employee can work at the office or at home just the same as a bad one. I'll quote it directly so that you can read it one more time and hopefully actually understand what was said.

Getting hired on at one of the most desirable tech companies to work for in the first place would have me believe that they’re probably largely quality employees. Wanting to work from home doesn’t make them slackers anymore than wanting to go into work magically makes someone a good employee.

However, reading what one says can be a fantastic indicator of said person and their beliefs. What I'm left wondering is whether Steve Adam's was indeed correct. Of course I'd never expect an honest answer to that question.

Nope. He’s not.
 
The smell of the desperate fear I mentioned earlier is strong with this one….
So funny. Again, I think the same thing. Nothing desperate here, I work from home. Get a great pay check, live an awesome life. My wife, the same. I pity you who needs to goto work every day...work for a boss who thinks your an ass and you jump at his every whim. Poor thing. Jealous of us who have a great life.
 
If those companies want to stick around they’ll eventually have to move with the times. Offices are expensive to run and the top talent want to work from home and they also work better from home. Work from home isn’t going to go away now, especially not fo programmers where we have countless cases that show working from home is more efficient and if you want to squeeze even more productivity than just that, you can move to a four day work week.
The Fortune 500 won’t disappear anytime soon. Maybe small companies with non-flexible wfh ideas. But top talent can be replaced. Nobody is indispensable.

He's in a rare 3rd catagory...called greedy power hungry CEO's. The forward thinking ceo, not the typical bean counter timmy is, see's the benifit of their employees being happy and comfortable at work. The CEO like timmy are in the dinosaur catagory. Workers MUST be at the office, under our thumbs to make sure they don't "slack off". So he's actually a mixture of 1 and 3.
Maybe, but 5 more years of Mr. Cook.
 
Really. Is that why you’re a regular reader/poster here on MacRumors?
I like the ALTERNATIVE sections here. They are active and engaging. thanks for asking...any more ways to try to "trip me up" with your cunning intellect? Phew dodged a couple of big ones here... 😅

I can't undertstand why people we don't know (the Apple workers) who want to work at home at a company we don't work for (Apple), are against the workers trying to get a better deal. It just seems spiteful to be angry about this, when most of us have nothing to do with this either way.

It's almost as if they are jealous or something...I don't know....I can't put my finger on it.

It appears to be because if the Apple employees 'win' then the people who are angry about it somehow 'lose,' even though it literally doesn't effect them. I don't get the logic, but it seems there's now a sizable portion of the population who's logic nowadays is specious at best. I'm a chemist and would never be able to do my job from home every day of the week, but I certainly don't hold that against Apple employees who have zero to do with my own job.

Exactly. the us vs. them mentality in the US these past 5 to 6 years is so caustic to society. I work from my home property, I have a few businesses that I run and I am hands on in everything. From rebuilding engines in motorsports equipment to writing, photography and videography. I also have a tour business, a liquidation business and woodworking business. Now, I am not jealous of anyone else's job, I don't care what anyone does for work, or where they do it. It's literally none of mine, or anyone else's concern. I love just calling out the whiners here as they are so petty and juvenile. If I must work from a location, YOU HAVE TOO AS WELL. Jealousy at it's finest folks.

I think it has something to do with the indolent, living in their gated communities and WFH with their fiber internet connections, seem to be grasping for more to make the divide between the haves and the have nots even wider. It's especially grating when they denigrate those that have to work retail because they "don't get a better job" or aren't "highly skilled". But it's always been the elitist snobs that support segregation and oppression.

Yes, because it's the Apple developer making $150k/year that's driving the divide between the haves and have nots. It certainly couldn't be the benevolent and lowly Bezos, Musk, and Zuckerberg's of the world, with their tens of billions of dollars. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

An employee living in the Bay Area making $150k probably can't even afford a vacant, burned out house on that salary, let alone in some high-end gated community.


Your idea of what a low six figure income gets you in that part of the country is a fantasy, as is your belief of who's intentionally furthering the gap between the top 1% and everyone else. The ultra-wealthy's plan is obviously working though, turn the lower class and the middle class against one another to distract both while they make off with the goods.

bitter much with the elitest snob comments? I think so.
