Apple Wants Workers Back in Early September

Tim Cook announced Apple's plan for employees to return to the office three days a week, specifically on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with remote work options on Wednesdays and Fridays.

The plan includes additional remote work weeks upon manager approval and is a pilot program subject to reevaluation in 2022.
