Apple Allowing Select Employees to Devote Time to Special Projects
Apple is allowing a small group of employees to spend up to two weeks working on projects outside their standard job responsibilities. This was originally reported by the Wall Street Journal's Jessica Lessin, by way of Business Insider.
It's similar to Google's 20% time, which lets employees spend 20% of their time on side projects that could end up helping Google.
Lessin cautioned it was a "far cry" from what Google does. It's limited to a small group of employees at Apple.We don't have too many details for how the program, reportedly nicknamed "Blue Sky", works. It may allow employees to spend time on their own projects, or if they could be temporarily assigned to other working groups within Apple.
