EXCUSE ME??? This forum alone attacks Tim Cook and Apple "as a company" 90% of the time. Nobody here hardly attacks the employees. Not only does Tim Cook have to be responsible for major decisions that affect the whole company and stock value, but he also has to take abuse from the public. The employees aren't putting up with any "Crap". They have a job that they are not entitled to, but rather should be grateful for having.
That's really high for a part time retail job.
Huh, the CEO of my current corporation paid himself double what Cook has last year, current business financial year. And it's tiny compared to Apple.
Thats just merchandising 101 from the Ivy League, they want you to walk around the store and fall in love. Why do you think women clothes have such goofy sizes and have to be tried on. Or why they are spread all over the store.
Don't feel so sorry for him just yet. I'm sure there's other compensation that he doesn't have to list there because of some loophole.
It's very possible that Tim has many more stock options than the other execs. For that reason alone I would be okay with lesser pay if I could have more in stock.
I'm begging you -- please tell me how Ahrendts is worth $100 million in two years.
Seriously. I really want to know.
I'd really like to see a return-on-investment calculation.
It's not even like she's sleeping with Tim Cook. She must be doing something.
Or is it a case of infinite pile of cash meets infinite nauseating greed?

Right and meanwhile, the SF 49ers coach was FIRED yesterday after just one season and they paid him $10.5 million to leave. Between the ex-49ers coach and Tim Cook, at least one of them gets paid for working, the other gets paid for being fired. Please don't crap on Tim Cook.
$16... in San Fran...? That's not high at all. That's approximately $32,000 gross/yr ($27,200/yr after taxes) assuming you work 40 hours/wk and take approximately 2 weeks off each year for PTO/Vacation. The fact that you think $16/hr is a lot is scary.
For screwing up the Apple Watch launch, duh
True, especially with the costs to rent the most basic apartment in SF. $16/hr barely rents a room.
Sounds like a perfect match to me.
Do people get an Apple retail (or any retail for that matter) job expecting it to be their only source of income?
Judging by Apple's recent spate of product missteps, he shouldn't even be the CEO.
LOL. That was hilarious. At first I thought you were serious.
Get a life! If they don't like the wage they can leave. It's a free world out their and if you work for $16 hour they must be unskilled.
So if my math is correct, calendar Q4 2015 is about $900m short of guidance set by Apple during last earnings announcement. Anyone else able to come up with that?
You mean people who will spend billions of dollars on moonshot projects just to make the online 15 year olds spasm in happiness?
[doublepost=1452126630][/doublepost]Isn't it funny that online people on this forum think Apple should replace Tim Cook, while the man is the guy who literally brought Apple to new highs. Any company in the tech industry would kill to have his "failures", or him as a CEO.
But oh well, ignorance is bliss.
Uh yeah. What Planet Are You On?
Let's see, kids 18-25. Adults 25-50+. Anyone that needs to make a living of some sort. Also many people start from the bottom as a retail associate, then move up to store management, then possibly up to district management. You do realize there are many people of all ages (including seniors) that work full time at McDonalds right?
You sound like people have choices. Not always. Most of the time they don't. It's not easy to get a job nowadays. You don't just walk in and get hired. Multiple interviews, background checks. Also, jobs have to have openings too. Why am I telling you things I'm sure you already know?
I agree, Apple is missing the "spark", the "outside the box" innovation, groundbreaking applications and indeed last but not least a reborn respect for the Video and Photography Professional world with their current and future needs..
