It seems that the normality that we had before the happy coronavirus is returning. Of course, very little by little. This normality also seems to be returning to Apple. Apple Stores around the world are starting to open and now it is beginning to be heard in specialized forums that Apple employees they will begin to return to their jobs. It is not an immediate return, but plans are already being made for what the "back to school" will be like.
According to Bloomberg, there is already a plan in place by Apple for its employees to gradually return to corporate offices around the world over the course of a month, including the main Apple Park campus in Silicon Valley. The first we will see in the Apple offices will be hardware development engineers.
The process will consist of two phases. The first of them will begin in June and the second in July. It is logical that the first to join are the hardware developers, since their work is quite difficult to do remotely. Therefore they will be the ones who "inaugurate" the facilities.
Anyway it is informing individually to the employees of when they have to return to the workplace and how they will do it. It is more than likely that it is done in shifts and they are not working the usual hours. Surely it will also be done under strict safety and hygiene measures, just like those that are being implemented in the Apple Store that are already opening their doors to the public.
Although the danger of the virus continues and is very present, especially in the US, companies must get down to business. Whenever possible, telework should be encouraged, but on other occasions it is impossible and regular production should begin.
Much encouragement!
