Tech workers want tech solution for work and the tech company says no? Sounds like a contradiction with Apple Inc loosing credit in all possible directions.
Agree to disagree. Fix the process if that's the case.
I don't see how this post can even make sense. A tech solution doesn't necessarily translates into a good business solution.
You do realize pretty much all Apple products are built in China...by Foxconn...from mostly Samsung parts
Apple just designs the stuff and orders the parts.
No! Worlds colliding.
How is Apple supposed to contain leaks or pinpoint leaks if all the employees can blab about whatever to whomever whenever?🤫 Just imagine what would have happened if the British failed to deploy the World's Funniest Joke because the failed to compartmentalized those working on weaponizing it?
In all seriousness, this might be the beginning of the end. When the peons starts questioning the higher ups, things are gonna break down. I've seen first hand what happens. I used to be self-employed and griped constantly about management.😏

So you want a super-secret hardware design lab in each home?
Obviously this doesn't apply for hardware, same as you can't run a retail store in your own home.
exactly.
So, is it fair to say that there is no one-size-fits-all best choice and that it's highly depended on role, business, secrecy level, industry, etc?
Yes, I would agree to that. I'd also highly doubt HW Engineers would want a lab in their own home. So ofc there's different needs for different roles.
Some can work from home others cannot. Surprise! Seems to be that you have difficulties with modern life or do you need the pressure of others to get work done? There are some of these. Perhaps you need an audience to feel good and get energy (extrovert). We introverts have had a great time working from home.
Your post reply has nothing to do with anything I said or the post I was responding to. 🙄
Perfect. So half of the comments on here about "Apple is awful" or "Employees are awful" are so devoid of the actual context that they are irrelevant as they're written. There are many business decisions that need to be made, on both sides of the equation. A janitor and a hardware lab engineer can't work from home exactly as an accountant probably can work from home at least the majority of the time. (side note: working from home will probably cause loss of jobs in corporate janitors, maintenance workers, and cafeteria cooks/service workers).
Usually is the opposite: "emotional attack". Whining and taking position without knowing facts.
Good. Employees should be freely able to criticise their employers if it's justified and valid.
Employees need to thread carefully on this. Don’t forget that you’re not the only engineer at work or even outside work. At the end of the day, they can easily replace you. For companies like Apple or Google, they have a pool of good developers. Unless you possess some great/unique skills, Try to negotiate first for a better working condition with your supervisor.
The real world would like a word with you. I guess in fantasy land, the things you need just pop up out of nowhere.
It‘s not ”jealousy”. It‘s their self entitled ******** I can’t stand. They should all be fired.
Hence why companies don't like remote work. Production can stay the same, or even improve. The issue is they lose control over the individual on what they can't talk about. Such as benefits, and pay.
Perhaps that’s due to lack engineers working in the office building instead of being home in their slippers watching ESPN while checking into Apple every now and then. If they were at work they would be more productive working amongst a team getting the software right instead of sitting on their lazy butts at home.
What do you mean? The moment that Apple - or any company - forbids an employee to talk about salary and benefits, they break federal law.
Honestly people who don’t or haven’t worked for the company have no business commenting on this because they have no clue about the inner workings and things that go on behind the curtain
