Form over function strikes again for Apple. Their new headquarters, which comprises large panes of glass, has become a bit of a hazard to its employees, who are generally distracted enough to walk into them. Staff began using Post-It notes to identify glass surfaces but were later asked to take them down.
It’s not the first time Apple’s penchant for glass in buildings has caused problems. In late 2011, 83-year-old Evelyn Paswall walked into the glass wall of an Apple store, breaking her nose. She sued the company, arguing it should have posted a warning on the glass. The suit was settled without any cost to Apple, according to a legal filing in early 2013.
