Apple has given employees the option to shift to a work-from-home model as COVID-19 cases see a surge in the US. 

Apple has reversed course on its plans to return to normal operations and has suspended requirements that employees return to the office this month for at least three days a week. The U-turn comes after woke employees called the mandate to return to the office a racist move designed to make the company “younger, whiter, and male-dominated.”

Coming of age during a pandemic that put a priority on collective well-being, a young generation of workers is rekindling labor movement passions.

After telling employees they had to be in the office three days a week beginning May 23, Apple softened its position; it will continue a two-day-per-week office mandate as official hybrid policy. An Apple employee group said the change doesn't go far enough.

Blaming a rise in coronavirus cases, Apple has told staff they will have to work from offices two days per week, instead of three.
