Apple employees say the company is cracking down on remote work

[Spartan]

Apple employees say it’s harder than ever to get remote work requests approved after the company rolled out a new hybrid model that will require people to return to the office three days a week starting in early September. Some employees say they will quit if Apple doesn’t change its stance.

While Apple historically discouraged employees from working from home, there were one-off exceptions to the rule, and some teams were more lenient than others. Now, employees say that even those exceptions are being denied. In a company Slack channel where employees advocate for remote work, roughly 10 people said they were resigning due to the hybrid work policy or knew others who’d been forced to quit. The Slack channel currently has more than 6,000 members. 

In a survey on remote work conducted by employees in June, 36.7 percent of respondents said they were worried they’d have to leave Apple due to the lack of flexibility (1,735 people answered the question). 

The return-to-work plan has already been a flashpoint at Apple, where employees wrote a letter in June asking Apple CEO Tim Cook to reevaluate the hybrid model. Deirdre O’Brien, senior vice president of retail and people, sent a video in response saying that in-person collaboration was “essential” and noting the company would not be backing away from its current approach.

this is actually a hard topic.. people are taking it is now ok to schedule meetings whenever at their convenience.. back to office ayina idi new norm avuddemo.. management needs to crackdown on this but they won't for corporation reasons.. we all need to take matters into our own hands and run meetings effectively and encourage onl appropriate ones.. ee project management and hand waving gaallu.. vaalla panulu meetings lo kaanichukovadaaniki ilaaney continue chestaaru..

Same with most companies. Micromanaging increased by many folds.
