Apple products are banned for employees of Microsoft.

Two companies of this technology is the mortal enemy. And everyone knew it. Not just in the market, sometimes also in the realm of law. And now the feud is reaching down to the level of their employees.

Microsoft was giving an ultimatum if any Apple product is a good gadget 'forbidden' for its employees. This statement is clear, if they forbid their employees to have all the gadgets that are manufactured by Apple.

Rumors are circulating when a leaked internal email. In that email mention if Microsoft prohibits its business units, Microsoft Sales, Marketing, Services, IT, and Operations Groups (SMSG) to buy any Apple product with company funds.

The piece described the email contents, Microsoft SMSG division would create new regulations for Apple products (Mac and iPad) should not be purchased from the company money. This means, two Apple products should not be there at Microsoft working environment.

"Apple products do not have to be purchased with company funds. This is a new policy, "one of the posts in the email.

SMSG alone currently has over 46,000 employees spread across the world. On the Microsoft site pages, the department is taking care of consumer, business, sales, and service.

Microsoft's own party are reluctant to comment when asked to reflect on those associated with the email SMSG.

Is Tim Cook also has a similar policy in the Apple-related products of competitors? No news circulating about this.

Perangkat Apple terlarang bagi karyawan Microsoft

Dua perusahaan teknologi ini adalah musuh bebuyutan. Dan semua orang mengetahuinya. Tak hanya di pasar, terkadang juga di ranah hukum. Dan kini perseteruan tersebut merambah hingga ke tingkat karyawan mereka.

Microsoft sempat memberikan sebuah ultimatum jika segala produk gadget Apple adalah barang ‘haram’ bagi karyawannya. Pernyataan ini jelas, jika mereka melarang pekerjanya untuk memiliki segala gadget yang diproduksi oleh Apple.

Rumor ini beredar ketika sebuah email internal bocor. Dalam email tersebut menyebutkan jika Microsoft melarang unit usahanya, Microsoft Sales, Marketing, Services,IT, dan Operations Groups (SMSG) untuk membeli segala produk Apple dengan dana perusahaan.

Potongan isi email itu menyebut, divisi SMSG Microsoft akan membuat peraturan baru yang agar produk Apple (Mac dan iPad) tidak boleh dibeli dari uang perusahaan. Ini berarti, dua produk Apple tersebut tidak boleh ada di lingkungan kerja Microsoft.

“Produk Apple tidak harus dibeli dengan dana perusahaan. Ini adalah sebuah kebijakan baru,” salah satu tulisan dalam email tersebut.

SMSG sendiri saat ini memiliki lebih dari 46.000 karyawan yang tersebar di seluruh dunia. Di laman situs Microsoft, departemen ini mengurusi konsumen, bisnis, penjualan, dan pelayanan.

Pihak Microsoft sendiri enggan berkomentar ketika diminta pendapat terkait dengan email SMSG tersebut.

Apakah Tim Cook juga memiliki kebijakan yang sama di Apple terkait produk kompetitor? Belum ada kabar yang beredar tentang ini.
