Apple reportedly asks employees to return to offices in September

Dow Jones2021-06-03

Most Apple workers will be back in the office at least 3 days a week, according to email obtained by The Verge

After more than a year of remote working, Apple Inc. employees are reportedly being asked to return to the office at least three days a week in early September.

Citing an internal email sent Wednesday morning that it obtained, The Verge first reported employees will return to work in their offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the option of working remotely on Wednesdays and Fridays. Teams that need more in-person interaction will go to the office four or five days a week, The Verge said.

"For all that we've been able to achieve while many of us have been separated, the truth is that there has been something essential missing from this past year: each other," Chief Executive Tim Cook said in the email, according to The Verge. "Video conference calling has narrowed the distance between us, to be sure, but there are things it simply cannot replicate."

Apple workers will also be given the option to work remotely for two full weeks a year.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment or confirmation.

Tech companies, particularly ones in Silicon Valley, were among the first to shut their offices when the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year. Their reopening plans are seen as an indicator how how large companies will deal with returning their workforces to the office.
