Apple has set a September 5 deadline for corporate employees to return to office at least three days a week, a Bloomberg News report said on Monday.
The company, which told its employees of the new plan on Monday, will require employees to work from the office on Tuesdays, Thursdays and a regular third day that will be determined by individual teams, the report said.
The iPhone maker did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment.
Apple joins several technology and finance companies that have begun mandating a return to office as COVID cases ease.
Earlier in June, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has asked employees to return to the office or leave the company, according to an email sent to employees and seen by Reuters.
The Tesla chief executive’s intentions, conveyed in an internal email, are rooted in what he described as his “super bad feeling” about the US economy.
Some of the nearly 100,000 people employed at the electric carmaker may already be considering their options after Musk issued them with a return-to-office ultimatum this week.
In an email sent to staff, Musk threatened to fire anyone who did not work in the office 40 hours a week, a sharp contrast to flexibility offered by Big Tech companies that compete for the same talent pool.
The office edict, on top of a steep drop in Tesla’s share price this year – partly due to Musk’s costly pursuit of Twitter – and his public alignment with the Republican party are a toxic mix for some staff.
