Apple Threatens To Fire Employees Who Do Not Come To Work At Least Three Days A Week

New York: Apple has threatened to fire employees who do not come to work at least three days a week.

According to Platformer’s Managing Editor Zo Schiffer, “Apple is tracking employee attendance (via badge records) and will give employees escalating warnings if they don’t come in 3x per week,”

“At Apple, some orgs are saying failure to comply could result in termination, but that doesn’t appear to be a company-wide policy,” Schiffer said in a tweet.

It is to be noted that Apple’s monitoring of badge data appears to go against the company’s assertion that it is concerned with preserving consumers’ privacy and data.

According to Fortune, in March 2022, the company made the first request for employees to return, although for just one day each week. “For many of you, I know that returning to the office represents a long-awaited milestone and a positive sign that we can engage more fully with the colleagues who play such an important role in our lives,” Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote in a memo at that time.

“For others, it may also be an unsettling change. I want you to know that we are deeply committed to giving you the support and flexibility that you need in this next phase,” he added.

“We believe that Apple should encourage, not prohibit, flexible work to build a more diverse and successful company where we can feel comfortable to ‘think different’ together,” they wrote.
