Apple Sends Care Packages to Employees Stranded in China's Wenzhou City and Hubei Province by Coronavirus

Wow. That's a pretty respectful and cool way of treating your staff. How many staff are getting these? I mean, the pessimist would and could say something like "great PR, but slave labour in factories" or "just clearing out all the channel of old iPads they now won't sell during the pandemic so they can sell the new one", or something. But, most companies in the world wouldn't do this, a lot of companies would (and will) demand you drag yourself to work.

That is so true. However, people would still try to criticize, no matter what. I love it when they try to swing the positive into negative (typical, especially around this forum)

It's a nice gesture but will most likely go straight to Weibo.

How to make people even sicker: give them lots of sugar and flour. Riiiight.

"Noooow, get back to work."

Tim Cook isn't exactly the best CEO business wise, but he is actually a genuine nice guy IMO, which is rare in that position.

Agreed. However he must be near the top.

but he is actually a genuine nice guy IMO, which is rare in that position.

Agree here also.

You think this is the only food they're eating?

I suppose in an ideal world, Steve Jobs might have stepped down as CEO and focused mainly on designing new products, while Tim Cook oversaw the day-to-day running of the company. But as the saying goes - man proposes and God disposes. He was gone too soon and we were left with Jony Ive in charge of product design. The man isn’t perfect, but he is perhaps the purest expression of what made Apple the design-led company it is.

Cook has refined Apple’s culture and expanded it, and has done as fine a job as any CEO in American history, if not world business history. He’s the CEO Apple both needs and deserves.

Struggling to figure out how the usual naysayers will turn this into a bad thing.

You managed to

You managed to

I’m going to assume that was witty, but I don’t get it.

No one was naysaying, you were just being negative and creating a bad thing.

 

[cmaier]

No one was naysaying, you were just being negative and creating a bad thing.

No one was naysaying because no one had posted anything yet.

Soon enough, several people were naysaying.

My post didn’t cause them to do that - my post merely predicted that they would.

I’m just the messenger - be angry at them.
