BREAKING: Apple is rolling out a COVID-19 testing mandate next month. Vaccinated employees will get infrequent tests if going into an office or store. Unvaccinated employees will have to get frequent testing.

The fact that public grievances about workplace issues at Apple is news helps to demonstrate that Apple has some serious workplace issues. The best workplaces doesn't create an institutional spirit of “be grateful, and keep your yap shut.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

Thats not all. They also rescind offers of people who they deem to be too loud about discrimination on social media. They've done this multiple times. With no shame, no feeling that they'd need to even pretend or explain. That is a company that has gone away with so much.

One of the things that excited me when I joined Apple in April 2020 was the news that there would be PTO for voting. The truth is that this is only for the states that require it. As a Washington resident, I do not get any special PTO to vote. https://www.forbes.com/...

This is only the tip of the iceberg. I wish people would really speak up because there is a lot more. A lot. It could really make a difference because there is a lot worse regarding harassment and workplace conditions. If you think Google is bad, Apple is much worse.

“She said Apple had begun trying to reassign her after she complained that the company's work on the minerals was not, in some cases, leading to meaningful change in some war-torn countries.” Why stop? They're a trillion $$ company & the African countries they pillage have ZERO.

“Mr. Cook and Deirdre O'Brien, Apple's human resources chief, said in response to a question about pay equity on Friday that Apple regularly scrutinized its compensation practices to ensure it paid employees fairly.” Yea? Is that why they shut down the slack channel about it?

.@ashleygjovik is one of the most public and outspoken (now former) Apple employees who are asking for change within the company. “Apple operates like an authoritarian government, with its own set of rights for its employees,” she writes here. https://www.businessinsider.com/ ...
