Apple's Director of machine learning dislikes return-to-work policy so much that he quit

No-one has addressed this aspect yet: disability. Disabled people have been begging for even one day a week WFH for many years. For all sorts of reasons, from the sheer amount of time saved on travel and preparation for travel, to the sheer mental overhead of being in a space where you are highly visible and isolated at the same time. As someone on the spectrum, someone just coming up and chatting to me isn’t just a disruption, it can undo the progress of a whole day. For years, disabled peopl…

Nailed it. This could be a Langston Hughes poem:

Think of the Karens
