Even though the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have been popular with most Apple geeks, it hasn’t been that way with some employers.

Employers in China have issued a stern warning to its employees about buying the device. People in China are very into Patriotism in that country, and they tend to frown when a foreign company (such as Apple) try and push there ways and there products on its people.
As a result, most employers in China has issued warnings to their employees by coming out and saying “Buy an iPhone 7 and you’ll be fired.”
Some may think the threats are idle, but they are not. For example, the BBC found the letter below on Weibo and confirmed its authenticity:
In the letter, Nanyang Yongkang Medicine Company explicitly told employees that they should not purchase Apple’s new iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus. What happens if they decide to ignore the warning and purchase a new iPhone anyway? “If you break this rule, then just come to the office straight way to hand in your resignation,” the letter says.
That’s not even the worst one. CNET points us to a report from China.org, which discovered that Fuling Xinjiuzhou Gynecology Hospital issued an even more strongly worded warning to its staff.
“The administrative office of the hospital has decided not to allow any staff members to buy the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 plus,” the hospital wrote in a memo to employees. “Anyone who insists on purchasing one will be removed from candidacy for annual rewards of outstanding performances. And those who could not afford an iPhone 7 cell phone but still bought one will be asked to resign.”
