Apple employees asked to come to office three days a week from September 5

Tech giant Apple seems to be bringing down the curtains on the work from home model as it has asked employees to return to the office three days per week starting next month. From September 5, Apple staff has been asked to work from the office, according to internal emails viewed by The Verge.
As per the three-day office policy, the employees will have to come in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while the third day will be decided based on individual teams. Employees have the option of working remotely twice a week.
Tim Cook’s email to employees
“The early ramp-in phase of our hybrid work pilot has been a great opportunity to come together, reconnect with our teams, and meet new colleagues in person. I’m writing to you today with two updates, one about changes we’re making to our hybrid pilot, the other about its timing,” CEO Tim Cook said in an internal memo.
Teams participating in the pilot will come to the office three days each week with Tuesday and Thursday as set days across the company, but now the third day you come in will be decided by your teams. Each team will work through the decision about which day is right for them, and you’ll hear from your leaders soon, he added.
As before, many employees will have the option of working remotely two days a week. Depending on your role, you will also have the option to work remotely for up to four weeks a year.
“We are excited to move forward with the pilot and believe that this revised framework will enhance our ability to work flexibly, while preserving the in-person collaboration that is so essential to our culture. And we are committed to listening, adapting, and growing together in the weeks and months ahead,” Cook said adding that he looks forward to working with you to create a flexible environment.
This comes a year after the tech company announced its hybrid work model June 2021.
SVP of software engineering Craig Federighi also echoed the views stated by Cook in his email. “The week of September 5th marks the true start of our hybrid work pilot in the Santa Clary Valley — and I personally can’t wait to experience the special energy of having all of us back in the office together again!” he stated.
