         Why Apple's employees are refusing to return to the office

   Of the many reasons to want more workplace flexibility, Apple employees
   have found the dumbest.

   In an open letter to the company's senior management, a group of 200
   employees said that Apple's push to get everyone back in the office on a
   hybrid basis would make the tech giant "younger, whiter, more
   male-dominated, more neuro-normative, more able-bodied."

   Apple isn't even asking its employees to return to the office full time.
   Rather, they're asking employees to show up just three days a week and
   work from home the other two days. But this expectation is too much for
   the "Apple Together" group, which alleged the schedule is "only driven by
   fear" and would "lead to privileges deciding who can work for Apple, not
   who'd be the best fit."

   "Stop trying to control how often you can see us in the office," they
   wrote. "Trust us, we know how each of our small contributions helps Apple
   succeed and what's required to do so. Our direct managers trust us and in
   many cases would happily let us work in a more flexible setup. And why
   wouldn't they, we've successfully done so for the last two years. Why
   don't you?"

   There are plenty of reasons to value working from home. And there are
   plenty of reasons that make going into an office worthwhile. One would
   think a hybrid schedule that allows employees to do both would fit
   everyone's fancy.

   Apparently not.

   At the very least, Apple's employees should be honest about why they
   oppose a return to in-person work. Just admit the commute is too much
   effort or that you sold all your office attire for athleisure wear or that
   the idea of being held accountable by in-person collaboration is too much.

   But alas, the normal complaints of racism and sexism will have to suffice.
