Sometimes though, it seems that employees forget they have the power to quit, just like some MacRumors members are on their second decade of complaining about non-repairable Macs instead of just quitting.

You mean when a few members of the team are a bunch of self entitled self centered whiny brats 😫😫😫
It’s not unspoken at all. At least in the US you sign a contract outlining your job role and how much you’ll get paid for servicing that role. It’s all spelled out
Employers cannot treat employees poorly, even in an at will arrangement. They are many laws that protect at will employees from employer indiscretions. Being at will does not mean "take it or leave it." E.g., you cannot sexually harass an at will employee and then just say "leave if you don't like it." The at will employee has the right to a safe workplace and due respect.
I find it funny that these employees are feeling safer with Slack yet they’re don’t realize the power of bots and certain implementations of Slack make it so these employees are MORE focused upon and easily watched.
anyone that’s properly used slack before knows this.
I love that good improvements have been made. There should be a new channel called #Pay-Equality4Work
Not all employees work in that building. Elk Grove employees work in a windowless converted warehouse.
My office doesn't have windows either. But they do give me a paycheck and that's why I'm there.
I can’t imagine anybody disliking working in that expensive spaceship campus Apple built.
They only hurting themselves! They need to sell the spaceship and move to North Carolina! We love working here!
Exactly, right? I had an IT job where we worked in the basement!
Seriously. Does one need any more evidence of what spoiled brats these whiners are?
So you have the option of getting a new job
No matter how nice a campus is at the end of the day it becomes just another office. Yeah it looks nice but lets see you still have to drive to the office. You still have drive to the office. You still have to walk from the parking lot into the building. You still have to be around other humans.
New buildings honesty are only cool for a little while then it just becomes another office.
A lot of boomers writing a lot of pro-work propaganda in this thread. Remember, if the top talent is leaving because they aren't happy with the work conditions, then a lot of people with knowledge and experience in the company will leave and your products will be made by cheaper juniors. If that happens, the the quality will deteriorate. Employees have shown that they are able to produce stuff remotely and would like to continue to do so, I don't see any problem with that. Seriously if you'd get your heads out of your asses, you'd see that the world is always changing.
All I read about was a bunch of malcontent employees throwing accusations around and generally whining. I highly doubt that Apple is actually abusing/mistreating their employees in any way.
A friend of mine didn't like the company culture where he worked a few years back. You know what he did? He quit and worked somewhere else. He didn't stay there and whine. It's called growing up and acting like an adult.
you're whining right now! Be an example for them, log off right now like the adult you are!
Uh...we're talking about whining incessantly about your JOB (especially when you're supposed to be working), not a non-work-related discussion on an internet forum 🤦♂️
Until its the greatest thing since sliced bread. But let the employees leave...I'm guessing others will fill their collective spots.
They’re busy mixing avocado oil all over their kale.
First of all, I was hardly "whining" about anything. I was pointing out my observations about what I read and gave an example of somebody who handled discontent at their workplace in a far more productive way.
Secondly, there is a HUGE difference between bad-mouthing your workplace or employers on work-related communication channels and complaining about things in general on a forum.
What's "pathetic" is the entitlement in this thread. If you and your employer don't see eye to eye, and it's come to the point of no return...the employee is free to find employment elsewhere. The company can be Apple, Citigroup, Exxon or whomever...if the job no longer suits one, then leave.
This has nothing to do with CSAM scanning. Just some generalized, unprovable false equivalency internet tactic.
I'm sure there would be many that would welcome to chance to work at Apple at the spot you (the royal you) just vacated. Now maybe Apple will come around, but who knows.
