Apple's director of machine learning resigns due to return to office work https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/07/apple-director-of-machine-learning-resigns/
I heard our team also shifted to hybrid; we saw a 10% drop in cross-team brainstorming. Wonder how Apple plans to mitigate that.
Interesting that the director cited office fatigue; at our startup, we use standing desks but still remote. Maybe a hybrid model would work.
Did Apple provide any data on productivity impact from remote work? Curious if the decision was purely policy or performance-related.
Makes sense to stay flexible; remote teams at our company have delivered more iterative releases lately.
Interesting that the RTO policy triggered the resignation—do you think this will slow Apple's upcoming ML projects?
It’s rare to see RTO cited so directly. I wonder if this forces Apple to reconsider their hybrid stance?
