As computer giant Apple considers bringing employees back to work in person while the COVID-19 pandemic winds down, some of those employees are worried that returning to work in person will make the company less diverse.
“Apple will likely always find people willing to work here, but our current policies requiring everyone to relocate to the office their team happens to be based in, and being in the office at least 3 fixed days of the week, will change the makeup of our workforce,” said an open letter written by employees. “It will make Apple younger, whiter, more male-dominated, more neuro-normative, more able-bodied, in short, it will lead to privileges deciding who can work for Apple, not who’d be the best fit.”
Neurodiversity is a relatively new addition to the far-left’s diversity cult and demands the inclusion of people who have atypical neurological development or functioning, like those on the autism spectrum.
The contention of the Apple employees is that returning to work for three days a week in person will not only make the company less neurodiverse but will make it more white and more male. The employees did not explain how returning to work in person would cause this phenomenon.
But the employees’ complaints did not end there.
“Privileges like ‘being born in the right place so you don’t have to relocate’, or ‘being young enough to start a new life in a new city/country’ or ‘having a stay-at-home spouse who will move with you,’” the letter said. “And privileges like being born into a gender that society doesn’t expect the majority of care-work from, so it’s easy to disappear into an office all day, without doing your fair share of unpaid work in society. Or being rich enough to pay others to do your care-work for you.”
Apple is known for its “wokeness” in the business community, especially its support for Black Lives Matter.
Last year, its CEO Tim Cook promised to ensure that the company would “progress forward on inclusion and diversity, so that every great idea can be heard,” and that it would “challenge racial injustice and mass incarceration.”
Apple could not be reached for comment.

They must repeat to themselves every night before they go to bed, “I’m so special.” How these guys will even get their heads through the door when and if they go back to the office, I’ll never know. The term “selfie” might not have been coined at Apple but I’m pretty sure it is practiced night and day there. The word insufferable comes to mind.
How about this; just hire and have the best people you can, have a successful and happy team willing to work. And forget the diversity crap. The biden regime will NEVER tell me who and what I must hire. And actually, if you think about it, many blacks just don’t want to work; period. And the 20/30 something White kids want to come out of school, be a boss, sit in a cubical all day and text. You know, the obama voters, i-phone, parent haters.
It’s this kind of thinking that destroys a company from within. Whatever happened to doing your best and learning how to get along with others. It’s really simple, if you aren’t earning your employer more than you’re being paid they can’t afford to keep you. If you don’t know how to get along with others regardless of differences in background, race, and beliefs you’re going to have a miserable life and be more trouble than you’re worth to an employer. Plus, if you don’t like the terms of your employment find someplace else to work. No employer can afford to let their employees dictate the terms of employment because once that starts you lose all control of the business.
