Apple enforces 3-day office rule; defiance risks termination

Over 500 companies, including Google, Amazon, Meta, and Twitter, have laid off over 1.5 lakh workers this year alone, creating a commotion in the tech sector. Apple, on the other hand, has not adopted extensive layoffs, despite the fact that the industry is resorting to harsh cost-cutting measures in order to deal with slowdown post-Covid bubble burst. However, in order to improve efficiency, the iPhone maker is said to have tightened employee working conditions by mandating them to work from office at least 3 days a week, or face termination.

“Apple is tracking employee attendance (via badge records) and will give employees escalating warnings if they don’t come in 3x per week,” tweeted Platformer’s managing editor, Zoe Schiffer, adding that some organisations of the company can even fire employees who are failing to comply with the guidelines.
