They want to keep working from home! I bet an employee planted it: “See it’s not safe. I don’t feel safe at work. You should just let us keep working from home.”
Someone’s been in your desk while you were at lunch.
Option A: get fired, drug charge, rehab
Option B: WHAT IS THIS MYSTEEEERIOUS WHITE SUBSTANCE ON MY DESK

Mysterious…..white….substance…..
I believe the white powder was the ground up dreams of those who hoped for a new 27" iMac.
Gotta make the deadlines for the M2 and iPhone 14. 🤣
A small number of Apple employees appear to have been evacuated from the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California, according to NBC Bay Area. There is little information at this time, but the news site says that a "portion" of the campus was evacuated.
According Santa Clara County Fire Department Captain Justin Stockman, first responders found an envelope containing an unknown white substance, with employees ushered out in case the substance is harmful.
Update: The substance was evaluated and the building was deemed clear, so employees were allowed to re-enter their offices. Officials did not provide details on what the substance was.

Some questions here.
Given how campus is designed how is security not checking contents of packaging or scanning for biological situations or contents for harmful effects B4 the even get close to the main campus?
Strange how enforcement back to worn almost coincides with this incident.
Ten to one an employee just wanted an extended lunch period. "A little baby power, an envelope... they'll never know bro!"
Silly. This is the reactionary culture our capitalist overlords have cultivated. There. Is. No. Threat.
It's all make believe to keep you scared. If you get a package with some random dust in it, throw it away and go on with your day.

Suspect it may be something to do with Apple’s “crack marketing team”? Maybe trying to think up the next OS name…
Which (some claim) contains that genuinely dangerous substance - asbestos.
All?
It’s not like no employees are allowed in the offices, where some might have to migrate between home and the office. Maybe the majority is what you meant to say.
However:
Apple CEO Tim Cook tells employees the return to offices will begin on April 11th
The hybrid plan will have employees in-office Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdaywww.theverge.com
doesnt get the joke guy has entered the chat.
To the couple select people running their mouths about this being a conspiracy or not warranting caution: On average there were an estimated 45 murders every day in America in 2019. Those numbers went up about 50% in major cities in 2020, and are likley up again for 2021. There is no conspiracy–society really is full of psychotic murderers and people more generally looking to terrorize others. Something is very wrong with the culture at large.
