Free iPhone. Not bad

It says they’ll be provided one as a “one time purchase” so I’m thinking it’s not free and they have one chance to buy it

That’s corporate for “we will deduct it from your paycheck”.

China, so definitely not the same worker protections; but where I’m at, that kind of deduction isn’t legal.

I’m a senior manager for a company in China, and that isn’t legal here either. Pretty sure they’ll provide it for free. Even when we are talking about somewhat decently paid employees, that phone easily costs a whole month’s salary, potentially more.

Being required such an insane purchase is completely inappropriate… I wonder how old they’re allowed to be, this could only be affordable as old and secondhand.

I read it as Microsoft will provide it by purchasing it once.
