Apple employees only get to work from home two days per week.

In an open letter sent today to Apple’s executive board, a coalition of Apple employees have issued several complaints about the company’s hybrid work policy. Back in March, Apple announced that, after a long period of only working remotely due to COVID-19 safety, they would be returning to in-office work this month, with mandatory in-office days on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. The employees, however, have decried this plan as “wasteful and inflexible.”

“You have characterized the decision for the Hybrid Working Pilot as being about combining the “need to commune in-person” and the value of flexible work,” the letter states. “But in reality, it does not recognize flexible work and is only driven by fear. Fear of the future of work, fear of worker autonomy, fear of losing control.”

The letter expresses concerns that forcing a regular commute unfairly favors those who live close to Apple’s office and don’t have other personal matters to attend to like caring for relatives or children. “In short, it will lead to privileges deciding who can work for Apple, not who’d be the best fit.”

The letter also noted that Apple limiting the amount of time employees can work remotely is hypocritical, based on how they market their products. “We tell all of our customers how great our products are for remote work, yet, we ourselves, cannot use them to work remotely?” the letter states. “How can we expect our customers to take that seriously? How can we understand what problems of remote work need solving in our products if we don’t live it?”

Apple is currently in the midst of an investigation by US National Labor Relations Board, which is investigating complaints of hostile working conditions.
