In his weeklynewsletter offered in Bloomberg, Mark Gurman claims that Apple employees working on health, AI and iCloud would have recently decided to leave the company. These are mainly engineers who make up this wave of departures, former defectors from other GAFA like Amazon, Google or Netflix. Several hypotheses are evoked by Mark Gurman as a new phase of recruitment or the bad reception of an announcement of the brand concerning telecommuting …

Several departures of engineers and experts from Apple

Among the expert personalities of the technological giant, Emily Fox has recently left the firm to accept a teaching-research position at the University of Washington. Prior to that, she led a team that focused on AI in healthcare, one of the most common applications of the tech today. There’s also Ruslan Mshenberg who left Apple for Google, he previously led a team working on cloud infrastructure (like iCloud) and has also worked for Netflix in the past.

The hypotheses proposed by Mark Gurman to explain this wave of departures

Apple refuses to communicate on this wave of departures, which leaves room for speculation. Mark Gurman puts forward two hypotheses:

• These resignations could simply be the cause and effect relationship that has generated the arrival of new recruits by Apple.
• They could reflect a lack of optimism on some work in progress or a disagreement following the announcement of the brand that refused that its employees have more and more recourse to telecommuting.
