Apple execs have enriched themselves by capturing way more profit than regular employees (Apple engineering pay is average/low average).
This is overstepping. Not only will any company that insists on a return to the office lose employees, they’re also loudly signaling their disdain and it’s going to have long term repercussions company and industry wide.
Fine, but if any company makes me wear a mask for 8 hours, I am out of there. Work remotely or come to a normal office sure.
I understand this will be perceived as a troll post, but this as absolutely the setup I am seeing.

We ask our kids to do it when they go to school. It doesn't seem fair if we're unwilling to do the same.
We should stop kids from wearing the masks. The covid risk for the kids are miniscule and masks do not stop covid anyway.
Minuscule (if we just take it at face value) is not the same as none. If a kid dies then there is a risk. Plus it depends on what I consider to be high risk. If a kid dies from preventable causes then for me that’s high risk environment.
Kids also spread the disease even we ignore the risk for them. So that means that it’s an increase of the risk for everyone else. Kids also interact with their grandparents in a lot of cultures quite frequently which is the highest risk group.
Mask decrease the probability of spreading or contracting COVID.

School, and the socialization that occurs there, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Work is generally just work, it's not like your personal development suffers if you skip it.
Why? Because of the already sunk cost into office space? Any other reasons? I know I can drive 40 min and stare at the same laptop and email/zoom with the same people. What’s in it for me? All I see is unnecessary agony, and a lot of it. I produce more from home. Why does an employer want me to suffer more, even if it will cost them? What’s in it for them?
For me, it’s about context switching and having a work/non-work routine. Having to wake up at different times, do meals differently, schedule childcare differently through the week is actually harder than just doing the same thing all five days.
