Apple EQ

Apple, Inc., wants employees to get back to work, literally - back to their offices. A new policy, introduced by Tim Cook himself, tells them that they will be back at least three days per week with the option to work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Apparently those employees really got into the remote work routine in 2020. Two days per week at home is more flexible than what they probably had pre-pandemic, but not good enough today. Eighty of them wrote an open letter to management to express their disapproval.

They say that many may quit their Apple jobs if they can't have a flexible remote schedule. Some are still worried about covid contagion. And some claim the company will not listen to  employees' concerns.

This article claims that the company has failed in "emotional intelligence" (EQ): "Apple's Remote Work Policy Is a Complete Failure of Emotional Intelligence."
