According to reports, AppleThe company delayed the return of employees to the office by at least one month. Earlier, Apple CEO Tim Cook said employees should start returning to the office in early September, at least three days a week.
This means that Apple's return to the office will be delayed until October at the earliest. At present, the novel coronavirus variant is spreading throughout the United States.
Apple didn't respond to requests for comment.
Cook said in an email sent last month that employees were required to return to the office on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and that employees would be given an additional two weeks of telecommuting each year with the manager's approval.
According to an internal memo obtained by the media, the move aroused strong opposition from employees, some of whom said the plan "forced some of our colleagues to resign".
Apple's plan to return to the office is one of the strictest resumption policies among large technology companies. MicrosoftIt was previously announced that employees would be allowed to work from home half the time, while FacebookCEO Zuckerberg said last month that if full-time employees could work remotely, they could work from home. In addition, TwitterAnd Spotify both support employees to work from home permanently.
