Cook has succeeded alright. He created the greatest surveillance network ever! The bluetooth mesh network is an abomination and he should be tried as a criminal at the Hague. The NSA would gladly pay him $100m per year for access to that data stream.

Yeah, but then again, you don't have his job and you don't know all the decisions he makes. No offense to you. I don't have his job either. But, we didn't get it. Maybe we are not qualified? Hence, we can't ask for that much money. Again, you might be and I'm not. Fair enough. But, if you think it's too much, get the job and ask for less pay. Again, not try to bash you. But, showing you the example that those who can do.
On the flip side, plenty of CEO get too much money for a crappy job. And, I really do think I can do better. Just not sure in Apple's case. Their a machine. Oiled by Tim Cook.
Who said life was fair? What a weird idea that it would be.Apple Store employees get a 2% to 10% pay raise, Tim Cook gets $99 million.
Seems fair because Inflation.
enough said. The answer. tight here.

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn says the US has far too many terrible CEOs — and blames them for spurring high inflation
"There are many good CEOs and boards, but there are far too many terrible ones that are hurting our economy," Icahn said on Tuesday.
BS. Ninety-seven percent of employees work for what are called “small businesses”, not mega corporations.
Yeah, make the products in wealthy countries, that’ll teach those poor nations. What a genius idea, guy.
Sorry, mistake. The fact is 99.7% of businesses are small businesses, according to the US Small Business Administration (SBA), so not evil mega corporations as you seem to think is the case.
Here is another fact: there is a severe shortage of labor in the job market, with millions of jobs going wanting, many of them very high paying. If one is struggling, there has never been a better opportunity to change your prospects.
Sounds like that counts one shop and the entire Walmart corporation equally, each as one business. If so, 99.7% doesn't surprise me.
MSFT has been trading places with AAPL as #1 market cap.
TSLA isn't worth as much, but the growth was quicker.
They're not doing anything groundbreaking. M1 was the most exciting product made since Jobs died, and in the end, it's just a faster processor.
Remember when Apple created an entirely new product category that spurned personal tech adoption worldwide? Then did it again? (No I don't count the iPad as world-changing, but it was also a new product category.)

Your mistaken implication is that there is only one axis that Apple is operating on. This is false. Under Tim’s watch, Apple has directed an inordinate focus to its financial axis, to the detriment of many other equally important axes (such as software quality and developer relations). Apple continues to be trending downward on these measures, and there’s only so long they can neglect these before internal and external factors throw their tenuous foundation off balance.
I actually think their software quality has been improving. People keep saying the opposite, but I remember clearly what it was like under Jobs, and stuff broke slightly more often if anything.
The thing is, they're not opening new doors, only milking what they already have. It's just boring, even when I was a shareholder.
You might not be aware that CEO compensation and bonuses are never based on need.
It's less than Daniel Craig earned from his last Bond film, less than Netflix are paying him for the sequel to 'Knives out' and less than Spotify are paying Meghan and Harry to give just a couple of examples.
Zuckerberg was reportedly $23Bn poorer last week because of a newish anti- tracking feature in Safari.
I don't see a problem with Tim's pay.

I'm not trolling; I'm genuinely curious. What new direction would you like for the company?
I bet you are one of the people who is bored that Apple devices have incremental improvements rather than flashy redesigns every year.
"New" does not equal "better".
Let's not forget that Steve Jobs also crapped his pants every single day for the first two years of his life.
How can you possibly call someone like that the CEO GOAT?
And which type of corporations do "small businesses" mostly go out of business because?
