Apple employees have launched a campaign to push back against Tim Cook's plans for a widespread return to the office, according to reports.

It follows an all-staff memo last week in which the Apple boss said workers should be in the office at least three days a week by September.

"Without the inclusivity that flexibility brings, many of us feel we have to choose between either a combination of our families, our wellbeing, and being empowered to do our best work, or being a part of Apple," the letter said.

"Over the last year we often felt not just unheard, but at times actively ignored," it also reads, accusing management of a "disconnect" with employees on the topic of remote or flexible working.

The Verge reported that the letter was sent out to Apple employees to gather signatures last week, despite a line in the letter saying it "is not a petition, though it may resemble one".

Mr Cook's memo to staff said that he missed "the hum of activity" of in-person working, and that he knew "I'm not alone".
