The holiday season is fast approaching and new Apple CEO John Ternus has told the company’s staff that most US divisions will get the whole week of Thanksgiving off.
Here’s what he said in an email seen by Bloomberg:
Team,
Last week in New York, I had the chance to see customers discover for themselves what we already know: Our newest products are incredible! From the most advanced camera ever in an iPhone to intelligent health features in Apple Watch to the amazing listening experience of our latest Air Pods, it was so wonderful to see the joy in people’s faces as they experienced our new lineup for the very first time. And that’s before iPhone Duo even hits the shelves.
It takes an extraordinary amount of work to make moments like this possible. It takes teams across Apple all driving toward the same goal, every single day. This year has been filled with remarkable milestones, and for all your hard work, you deserve a break.
In recognition of your contributions, most US teams will get the Monday through Wednesday before Thanksgiving off. If you’re part of our Retail and AppleCare teams who serve our customers, or international teams, you’ll be able to take three extra days off at a later date. You can find all the details on the People site.
I’m so grateful for this amazing team, and I hope you’ll use this time away to unwind, recharge, and spend time with loved ones. As I’ve said, this is an incredibly exciting time to be at Apple. And I can’t wait for what’s next.
Thanks, John
