data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> comes as Apple pushes virtually all corporate employees back into the office for three days per week, though the company is currently requiring just two days per week amid an uptick in coronavirus cases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Google, meanwhile, also wants many employees back three days per week, but is letting certain employees work fully remotely \u2014 a policy that presumably helped woo Goodfellow.<\/p>\n<p>When Goodfellow announced his departure from Apple, he told colleagues in a goodbye note that CEO Tim Cook\u2019s strict return-to-office push had driven him out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe strongly that more flexibility would have been the best policy for my team,\u201d Goodfellow

Tim Cook would soon demand five days per week in-person.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"

inside scoop that this is coming and left.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to tech talent manager Michael Solomon, most bosses prefer workers who are eager to get back into the office \u2014 but highly
