Apple Confirms: Steve Jobs Back at Work

[MacRumors]

Bloomberg has received confirmation from Apple that Steve Jobs has returned to work at Apple following his liver transplant, currently working part-time at the company's headquarters in Cupertino and part-time from home. Jobs reportedly returned to work last Monday, but today's report is the first confirmation directly from Apple.

Steve Jobs is back at work at Apple Inc., returning to his job as chief executive officer as planned after taking medical leave in January.

"Steve is back to work," Steve Dowling, an Apple spokesman, said today. Jobs is at Apple a few days a week and working at home the remaining days, he said. "We are very glad to have him back," Dowling said.

Jobs announced in mid-January that he would be taking a medical leave of absence until the end of June, and today's report confirms that he has met his target.

He said June...but this was pushing it.

He said June...but this was pushing it.

When Apple say something is happening in a certain month, it always happens at the end though - so Jobs was just staying true to that.

Good to hear!

Looking forward to the next steve-note

I never really cared to notice before. Somehow this just stuck out to me.

You cannot necessarily say there is going to be one... it might be other Apple executives for the rest of eternity...

I'm looking forward to seeing Uncle Steve deliver the iPod updates in September. Glad to hear he is officially back at work.

Excellent news, although I expect we'll see in the coming months that Tim Cook will take over as CEO and Jobs will probably become chairman or something along the lines of being involved in development and strategy of new products. A reduced role for him makes sense seeing as the company did very well without him the last six months.

 

[TheSpaz]

YAY! I hope Steve Job's OCD makes the iPhone better very soon!

 

[brax.j]

I haven't seen him around the building yet but it is bound to happen this week.

 

[Unspoken Demise]

Its good to know he's feeling well enough to work, even part time. Here's to speedy recovery and a fruitful future.

Again, I vote that anyone who thinks that funny be instantly and indefinitely banned from MacRumors.

Who peed in all you guys' wheeties?

Lookin' forward to the next iPhone 4G?

Billy Mays here for Snow Leopard

I'm glad he survived Celebrity Death Week 2009.

 

[dwman]

Who peed in all you guys' wheeties?

My pee free wheaties tasted fine, thank you. I'm simply speculating on what I think will be the new reality at some point in the near future.

 

[dacreativeguy]

Yes, he is back, but at what cost? Only time will tell if the source of Steve's success was his old liver. Without it, Apple may never be the same...

 

[Solemony]

That's good to hear! We're glad to have him back again!!!! Be well and healthy now Steve!

 

[BornAgainMac]

When do you think he will show his face to the public?

 

[LAS.mac]

Well, good for him. And Apple.

Hopefully this means he's in decent shape and promptly recovering.

 

[celticpride678]

Thanks for coming back Steve.

 

[Stephen123]

Apple always said 'end of June'. Only some fans, haters and a few ignorant press ever said 'June'.

 

[AdeFowler]

He must have a stack of filing to do

 

[4God]

I agree with the statement "They have their visionary back..."
Glad he's doing alright and look forward to seeing him back on a media event stage soon.

 

[DELLsFan]

Glad he's back. Hopefully he'll take it easy ... after the Apple Macbook Nano is released.
