Tim Cook tells employees the return to offices will begin on April 11th
I left Apple after years of lack of any flexibility on the remote work process. They wouldn&#x27;t allow transferring to any alternative office for most teams. From what I understood, VPs could protect a small minority of some of their employees if a senior leader made a case to them.<p>Unfortunately, this just seemed to lead to the most politically connected folks going remote and directors friends and favorite hires getting the perk.<p>At three trillion market cap, I guess they just realized it doesn&#x27;t really matter if attrition shoots up and they&#x27;ll always have enough people to fill the trenches. Lots and lots of people left around the same time.<p>Having left, I forgot what it was like to be able to focus on something other than Apple. Incredibly toxic atmosphere on the inside. I work at a fast-paced startup and still work on average 10&#x2F;hours a week less than at Apple.
