Apple exec who left the company due to in-person work policy now returning to Google - 9to5Mac

Earlier this month, Apple’s director of machine learning, Ian Goodfellow, left the company due to his disagreement with the in-person work policy.

Now it seems that Goodfellow is returning to Google, the company he worked at before joining Apple.

Before being hired by Apple in 2019, the engineer worked for Google, where he was responsible for machine learning and artificial intelligence projects.

A few Apple employees started returning to in-person work last month, and all employees would have to return to the office three times a week starting on May 23.

Last year, multiple Apple executives also left the company due to the Apple’s back-to-the-office policy.

Although Apple had plans to require employees to return to the offices within a few days, the company once again had to postpone such requirements.

Employees will still have to return to in-person work, but only for two days per week.
