the meeting on sunday is a regularly scheduled quarterly meeting. They did not have to sign anything. My husband works at a store and there was no NDA.

Exactly.
It makes no sense at all for retail store employees to be given any advance warning about management changes.
Do people here really think Apple is some kind of democracy?
Board changes happen in a rarefied atmosphere very far removed from the day to day grunt work of pushing iToys and AppleCare add ons.
As far as Apple's Board of Directors are concerned, the only thing a store floor salesperson needs to be concerned about is a new product release.
If this meeting is really scheduled then it will be about product. Not the demise of Steve Jobs, and they are not going to be sitting around some virtual iFire holding hands and singing Kumbaya.
I doubt Apple Inc. would even inform the poor b******s, until they get their pay slip.
+1, QFT etc.

Whoa - your post #126 was to release the succession plan quickly as Apple Stock is dropping
"Exactly - they better do it quickly, Apple shares are dropping..."
My response positioned the issue as having little to do with any succession plan - it was the market in general.
Woah!Its not about the management changes, its about a man who lived for HIS company having to leave becuase he cant http://www.radaronline.com/exclusiv...ss-steve-jobs-unsteady-his-feet-day-treatment walk anymore. It's the end of his time @ Apple. There should be no doubt of it. Sad day.
This doesn't have anything to do with Jobs. Does anybody on here actually think they'd tell retail salespeople before the SEC? Not a chance.
But isn't it part of the share's value? It is going down a bit quicker than the market in general...
Bad timing all-around creating tons of rumors...
Chicago's new Lincoln Park store. Opened in q4 of 2010
I think they do a massive event with MB,MBP and iMac and follow it with an announcement that SJ is retiring or in dire health. It will help absorb the impact on the stock price if they have a big release of new products just before announcing, "Oh by the way......"

I really don't think so... just last week Steve set next to the president.

Apple does releases very well. They hype, hype, hype and hype without ever saying a thing.
I think Apple will make a huge mistake if they release products that start back down the path of being proprietary (ie.. soldering memory/ssds, etc). Many people are extremely turned off by the nature of that type of business. It has hindered the company from bring in a new customer base.
