Apple Says Jobs Has Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s co-
Returned to Work founder and chief executive,
officially returned to work on
Monday after a five-month
medical leave. But for some
investors the issues raised
by Apple’s secrecy about
Mr. Jobs’s health problems
and liver transplant are likely
to linger.
―Steve is back to work,‖ Steve Dowling, an Apple spokesman, said on Monday. ―He is currently
at Apple a few days a week and working from home the remaining days.‖As was the case with
Mr. Jobs’s leave his ret, urn to work was accompanied by only minimal disclosures.
Mr. Dowling declined to say whether Mr. Jobs’s role had changed from what it was before his
leave, and he declined to discuss his health. He also would not say when Mr. Jobs first
returned to work at Apple. Mr. Jobs was at work on the corporate campus a week ago,
according to a person who saw him there.
The Apple chief’s official return comes just before the self-imposed deadline for his medical
leave. When Apple announced his leave in January, the company said he would be back at
work by the end of June.
Mr. Jobs underwent a liver transplant about two months ago, but word of the operation did not
surface until earlier this month. Last week, a hospital in Tennessee confirmed that he had
surgery there and said his prognosis was excellent.
News of the operation rekindled a controversy among shareholders and corporate governance
experts about Apple’s scant disclosures regarding the health of Mr. Jobs, a survivor of
pancreatic cancer. His return to work is not likely to quell the debate.
―We don’t know much,‖ said Charles Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for
Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. ―We know he is back at work and that he
had a transplant. Given how important he seems to be to the value of this business, we ought
to have the facts in front us that the board had in bringing him back.‖ During his absence, Apple
said little about Mr. Jobs other than repeating that he would be back at the end of June. Jeffrey
A. Sonnenfeld, a senior associate dean at the Yale School of Management, said Apple’s
insistence on secrecy damaged the company’s credibility.
