Apple employees will remain telecommuting until mid-June 2021

After talking to us about Apple’s new modem chip, Bloomberg informs us that the Cupertino company is already anticipating a rebound (or continuation) of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tim Cook would indeed have informed all employees that teleworking would be maintained until mid-June 2021. The CEO of Apple also believes that the generalization of telework has not had a really negative impact on the functioning of the group: “There’s nothing that can replace physical collaboration, but we’ve also learned a lot about how we can get our work done outside of the office without sacrificing productivity or bottom lines.”.

The choice of teleworking is not a surprise concerning Apple, especially since the United States is still in full outbreak of second wave: on the day of December 10 alone, more than 3,000 Americans died of the Coronavirus.
