    Tim Cook is not an idiot and I think he knows that if it weren’t for such policies before they were called DEI, a gay man would not have been hired as an executive right out of school first by Compaq, and then stolen from Compaq by Steve Jobs.

    Pulling the ladder up behind him.

    What a piece of shit.

      Pulling the ladder up behind him.

      This isn’t coming from Tim Cook or people internally at Apple but a conservative group, I’m assuming activist investors, trying to reverse DEI programs via shareholder vote.

          The board is pushing against it and I’d doubt they’d move counter Apple leadership in this instance. While I don’t like the sucking up to Trump and the effective bribery of inauguration donations, outrage for this specific instance should be placed on the conservative group driving a shareholder vote rather then leadership that seems to be against it.
