Apple CEO to Address Employees at Virtual Company-Wide Meeting Later This Month
Apple CEO Tim Cook will hold a company-wide virtual meeting later this month for employees to ask questions about working-from-home arrangements that have been put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, 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.
Apple last week informed employees that its retail stores in the United States will remain closed until early May, and Apple employees will continue to work from home until then.
In Santa Clara County, where Apple Park, Infinite Loop, and many other corporate offices and retail stores are located, there is a shelter in place order that will remain in effect until May 3.
The order prevents all nonessential businesses from being open and requires employees to work from home. Apple's corporate offices will not be able to reopen until that order is lifted.
Apple continues to review its flexible work arrangements in light of the latest guidance from local governments and public health experts.
In an earlier memo to employees, Apple said it was particularly focused on ensuring parents have the flexibility to adjust their schedules as necessary, with many children no longer able to attend school.

There’s DEFINITELY some exposure here for for Apple, if these products weren’t halted & are now being worked on in insecure locations (employee’s homes).
As large as a company as Apple is, I think it’s Beneficial that they have this ‘virtual meeting’, because there are a lot of questions/concerns employees have, that Apple probably doesn’t even have all the answers yet Due to the pandemic really is a ‘day-by-day’ basis, but at least there showing that they value the employees input in some form or fashion.
we have multiple weekly virtual meetings.
