If only there were a way, maybe through some cool technology, for these people to be able to work from far away so they didn't have to be geographically located near each other.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Apple issued a return-to-office mandate in March, requiring employees to go into the office at least three days a week, Platformer's Zoë Schiffer wrote in an X post.

Schiffer said Apple was monitoring employee attendance through badge records and that it would issue warnings to staff that didn't comply with the mandate.Apple then scrapped roles in its corporate retail division in April, Business Insider's Hugh Langley reported.

Unlike most other major tech firms including Meta, Amazon, and Google, Apple has been able to avoid making mass layoffs to its workforce since last year.

Microsoft reached a market cap of $2.89 trillion, while Apple's fell slightly to $2.87 trillion.Tim Cook's company has faced cooling demand for its iPhone in China as its rival Huawei makes headway.

It's set to launch its Apple's Vision Pro headset in February, which one analyst said is expected to sell out soon after its release.

Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside of normal working hours.
