Facebook forces their employees to dump their iPhones


The way that some multinational companies behave, leads us to think that they are not acting very democratic and in this chase for bigger profits, they are willing to do anything just to be sure that they will win the war. However, in this process, there are many strange aspects that are meant to reconsider the opinion that we had about one of the most important companies in the United States and among the biggest in the world, Facebook. Facebook has been accused that they have been ordered their employees to dump their iPhone and to change them for Android devices, giving all kind of false pretexts . This is without a doubt a war against Apple, even though the company state different reasons, such as the fact that the application works better on Android devices than iOS devices.

                                                                                                                                                  The fact that they are referring exclusively to iPhones and not all the products of Apple, and not any other operation system leads us to think that Facebook has a problem with the iPhone specifically and not with Apple entirely, or at least at this particular moment. It is very clear however that no company, no matter how powerful it is cannot force their employers to buy anything against their will or to use a particular brand of device or switching to other that they like.                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                      It is very clear that this process, even if it would go through, will not  help Facebook as much as it will affect their image, an image that was already affected through different rumors but especially with the poster in the Facebook headquarters that was encouraging the employees to switch from iPhone to Android. Facebook has already many problems and this will only lead to more negative rumors that will affect the already existing financial problems that Facebook is going through at this moment. No matter what their true motivation would be, this kind of behavior is affecting the relation between the company and the employees even more.                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The next two photos were taken at the Facebook headquarters:
