Apple Inc. is making sudden changes to its return-to-workplace strategy for office-based workers.
The policy, set to first take effect at the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters on Sept. 5, will require employees to work from the office on Tuesdays, Thursdays and a regular third day that will be determined by individual teams, according to a report by Bloomberg, noting employees were just told of the change this week. The company’s original return-to-office plan called for onsite work on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
