From PC Mag: Facebook hopes to fully open all US offices by the fall, with an option for employees to continue working from home.
The social network, which said it will expand remote-work eligibility, plans to reconvene at half capacity in September, before inviting all staff back in October, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Apple staff have since expressed their disappointment over the planned return to campus, saying the current policy does not sufficiently address their needs.
