Apple CEO Tim Cook will hold a company-wide online meeting later this month, where employees will be allowed to ask questions about the working-from-home arrangements that have been put in place as the company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, reports that Apple sent a note to staff on Wednesday advising them of the plan.
It asked that questions be submitted by end of day on Saturday and also encouraged workers to share their experiences of working through the disruption to daily life that the Covid-19 pandemic has brought about. The specific date of the meeting has not yet been disclosed.
While no specific date has yet been announced for the meeting, Apple staff are being asked to submit their questions and experiences working-from-home by the end of this Saturday, April 11.
Apple last week told employees that its retail stores will remain closed until early May. Apple employees will continue to work from home until then.
Santa Clara County – which is where Apple Park and many other corporate offices and retail stores are located – has a shelter in place order that is in effect until May 3. The order closes all non-essential businesses, requiring employees to work from home. Apple’s corporate offices will remain closed until the order expires.
