And what if we don’t like going back to the office, with the rhythms of pre-pandemic life? No surprise, because it seems to be so. It happens to Apple employees. But it is conceivable that it is a feeling that unites a little everyone, in contexts where smart working – albeit with edges to be filed and improved – has proven to work. In Cupertino, they even went so far as to write a letter to Tim Cook, asking for a more flexible approach to work.
Writing this story is The Verge website, which came into possession of the letter written by employees to Cook and Apple’s executive management. The company is organizing the return to the office for its employees, after more than a year of forced smart working due to the pandemic.

In the United States, the vaccination campaign is producing extraordinary results. The return to normality really seems like a concrete goal. So Apple, like other companies, is planning to get back to work. In a note sent by Tim Cook to employees, just hours before this case broke, the CEO laid out the plan: I work in the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting in the fall, and I work remotely for two. times a week.
“Despite what we managed to do while we were at a distance, the truth is that we have lost something essential in this last year: ourselves. – wrote Tim Cook in the document – Videoconferences have shortened the distance between us, for sure, but there are things that we simply cannot replicate ».
A choice somewhat in contrast with that of other Silicon Valley giants (such as Facebook and Twitter) who have already announced the possibility for their employees to be able to work remotely forever, even after the end of the pandemic.
