Apple clashes with some staff members about returning to Apple Park

Earlier this month, Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a memo that employees should begin returning to offices after the lengthly COVID-19 disruption in early September for at least three days a week. But some Apple employees have grown used to “working” from home while collecting large paychecks, and are opposed to returning to the office.

Some Apple employees have opposed the change and claimed that some are being forced to quit rather than come back into work.

In a video message sent to Apple employees, Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of retail and people, said: “We believe that in-person collaboration is essential to our culture and our future.

“If we take a moment to reflect on our unbelievable product launches this past year, the products and the launch execution were built upon the base of years of work that we did when we were all together in-person.”

In the letter, staff said Apple’s policies had “already forced some of our colleagues to quit.”

“Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our well-being, and being empowered to do our best work, or being part of Apple.”
