Apple Employees Keep Smacking Into Their New Headquarters' Glass Walls - DP - 02-17-2018

The centerpiece of Apple Inc.’s new headquarters is a massive, ring-shaped office overflowing with panes of glass, a testament to the company’s famed design-obsessed aesthetic.

There’s been one hiccup since it opened last year: Apple employees keep smacking into the glass.

Some staff started to stick Post-It notes on the glass doors to mark their presence. However, the notes were removed because they detracted from the building’s design, the people said. They asked not to be identified discussing anything related to Apple. Another person familiar with the situation said there are other markings to identify the glass.

This is what happens when you put aesthetics before functionality.

Since they won't allow post-it notes, maybe they could just hang up a dongle.

It's not easy to undo 8 years of training.
They'll get there.
Maybe some tweeting will help with that.

A story I read says that this has to do with distracted walking while staring at an electronic device. Maybe people shouldn't walk in a distracted manner.

It would just take one employee to issue a Cal OSHA complaint and the entire building would be changed. The law states that there must be either barriers it permanent markings on glass that is difficult to distinguish it's existence.

This sounds highly likely.
