Apple Retail Adjusting Hours?

Kelly Hodgkins at TUAW:

Apple is reportedly instituting mandatory weekend hours for some full-time employees and increasing the mandatory minimum hours for part-time employees. Under the new rumored rules, Friday will join Saturday and Sunday to become a weekend day. All full-time Family Room, Red Zone Specialists, Creatives and Geniuses may have to work two out of every three weekend days. Part-timers may have to work 24 hours a week, up from 16 hours. These new rules will supposedly go into effect on April 15.

The Apple stores have seen unbelievable growth, and the company has struggled to keep up. While these changes don’t sound like much fun, I suppose they shouldn’t come as a surprise.
