Apple workers publish letter opposing a forced return to office
With Apple employees soon set to return to in-person offices, workers have published an open letter to management.
Apple, like many companies around the globe, allowed its employees to work from home during the worst days of the pandemic. Though COVID-19 is still a very real threat to society, Apple is among the companies bringing its employees back to working in offices. However, this decision is not going over smoothly with those employees. Apple workers have published an open letter to company leadership opposing the forced return to in-person offices.
Apple employees shared their letter to the Apple Together website. The letter serves as a response to Apple’s announcement that it would be implementing a “hybrid” working format, with some employees needing to return to offices. In the response, the workers refute each of the key reasons given as to why some employees should return to in-person work.
The letter also evokes the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs with a relevant quote. “It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do. We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.”
Earlier this week, Apple (AAPL) released its Q2 2022 earnings report, which showed that the company beat both revenue and EPS expectations. However, the company’s stock dipped significantly not too long after comments from CEO Tim Cook during the following earnings call.
With the publishing of the letter opposing a forced return to in-office work, we await to see if Apple will provide a response or change its stance. For potential updates on Apple, stick with Shacknews.

Apple employees are doing that.
https://appletogether.org/ was born out of the #AppleToo movement last year.

This just happened too:

It is a massive company, so it can’t all happen overnight, but there is a labor movement going on inside Apple that is more than just this article they posted today.

as Steve said: “It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do. We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.” Here we are, the smart people that you hired, and we are telling you what to do: Please get out of our way, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, let us decide how we work best, and let us do the best work of our lives.
hard to argue with that. -
I Got a notification that my credit score has dropped so when I checked it ,it went from a 760 down to 617 .I was totally stunned . Nothing has changed that i'm aware of ,all my bills are paid on time and not much card debt .I was so surprised how it is possible to drop so much and have no idea why .I saw an article that says thirty days late payments will stay on your reports for two years. I now remembered I had one late payment about four years ago. It was a sad experience for me and my lovely wife .we needed an immediate solution , that was when we came across some local community beneficiaries reviews of NEWHORIZONCREDIT1 ,then i contacted them at ( NEWHORIZONCREDIT1ATGMAILdotCOM ) .I was so shocked when i received an email regarding changes on my credit report .I discovered all my negative tradelines were off and my credit score increased from 617 -785 within five working days .
