Apple delays 3-days-in-office plan
Apple has postponed the plan to require workers in the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The company has cited the rising number of covid cases as the reason for the delay in return-to-office plans. Many employees had taken issue with the three-day fixed schedule and it was initially set to take effect next week.
Instead, employees will have to continue the two-day regimen the company has adopted as part of its "Hybrid Working Pilot." Apple also told its employees that it was reinstating the mask requirements for common areas. Throughout the pandemic, many of Apple's 165,000 employees have been working remotely and like other major employers, the company has repeatedly been postponing its return-to-office plans. The company's chief executive Tim Cook has been vocal about the importance of in-person work and has taken heat from some employees for taking a more restrictive approach in the transition back.
When it comes to other major employers, Google workers are back in the office three days a week but some employees have been given an option to work remotely indefinitely. Microsoft allows its workers to develop their own hybrid work models with manager approval. Amazon has let its employees decide where they work.
