Apple to Return to Office in September under Hybrid Model

Apple announced that the staff is expected to come to the office three days per week starting September 5th, according to internal emails viewed by The Verge.

All employees in the Bay Area will be expected to come in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in addition to a third day every week that’s decided based on individual teams. Employees, thus, have the option of working remotely twice a week.

This marks the start of hybrid work model, which was announced in June 2021. The company has been planning to introduce the hybrid mode for a long time, but previously this was provoking a wave of activism within the company as employees protested the return to work.

Each team will work through the decision about which day is right for them, and you’ll hear from your leaders soon. 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,

Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote in an e-mail to the employees.
