Tim Cook asks Apple staff to return to office three days a week starting early September 

Apple employees have been working remotely for the past year to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Apple CEO Tim Cook wants some of its employees to resume office in September. In an email to his employees, Cook has asked the employees to return to the office three days a week starting early September. Apple employees have been working remotely for the past year to curb the spread of COVID-19. However, COVID-19 cases have declined in the United States and this is one of the reasons why Cook might want his employees to work from the office. “For all that we've been able to achieve while many of us have been separated, the truth is that there has been something essential missing from this past year: each other. Video conference calling has narrowed the distance between us, to be sure, but there are things it simply cannot replicate,” Cook wrote in an email to his employees obtained by The Verge. Cook in his mail mentioned that most employees will be asked to come to office on Mondays, Tuesday and Thursdays. On the remaining days, the employees have the option of working from home. However, only some employees will have the option of working from home because the teams that need to work from the office will have to return to the office five days a week.
