If you admit they always talk in code words it makes a lot of sense.
What he is saying is probably something like "we are hiring almost nobody"

most of their pay isn't tangible money, it's stock and such. really rich people work in a different economy than us plebs
You must have to hire an awful lot of people to get the one person who has an idea that no one else has had.
Why don’t you take a pay cut first? Every little bit helps.
I thought we already heard this before?
Landscaping is immensely wasteful. That’s why they have natural plants there, as was planned from the initial pitch of the campus by Steve Jobs himself. Even the trees are native.
Uncertainty?
That's laughable. What's certain is it's going to cost me 50% more to heat my house this winter than last due to the price of home heating oil doubling.
Between that, and the price of food and gas, I'm certain there won't be much money left over for anything else.
And it's not like I can switch to natural gas. It's not available where I live, and that's up 27% as well.
I suppose uncertainty is a euphemism for hard times.
Hey look, Amazon is laying of about 10,000 people. All the stories say "approximate" so I'm uncertain about how many people are going to be broke for the holidays.

It's his favorite emoji, you can see it as the praying hands or a high five, emoji search returns it for both queries 🙏
Per Steve Jobs instructions, it was meticulously replanted with indigenous plants to the area. What you are looking at is how Californian nature looks like. It cost millions on millions and they likely have a ginormous team that maintains it
Personally, I agree with Steve Jobs...Having manicured square bushes and flowers and whatnot that doesn`t belong to the area is heavy to water and maintain. This is re-introducing local nature into the urban environment and is what any arid areas and cities in those should strive for. In theory it should run without any watering.
Maybe you should ask why you need to mow a patch of grass in-front of your house? Have you considered why you do that?
Is it because for a farmer culture like the western one, a field cut neatly of it`s grass is a sign of "job well done" and the grass is wealth. But alas it is just a mirage and a slightly weird practice today, when you just expend resources and time, to maintain an old vestige of farming culture, lets be honest, you are throwing that grass right into recycling and turning garbage trucks into hay tractors for no reason.
I have worked with hay, I know the good feeling of a job well done. But that hay went in the silo for cows, not shipped into recycling plants. But who knows, maybe the recycling plants depend on your expenditure into growing grass and cutting it for them? In which case maybe it is good?

The world is on the brink of nuclear Armageddon and people on MR are worrying about Apple’s landscaping. Lol.

We might as well volunteer ourselves to go cut the grass and do some landscaping at Apple's campus.
Wait, what? Please explain, and be specific, how Apple "Execs" taking a pay cut would help the economy?
I’ll join you, landscaping is a wholesome and noble activity.
I cut my grass because if I don't, the zoning office pins a note on my front door and threatens to do it for me and lien my property. They actually did this to me one year. My mower broke and I was recovering from heart surgery and couldn't get it done on my own.
I despise cutting my grass. It's the biggest waste of my time in a week.
The options are to pave over .7 of an acre and have a giant heat island parking lot around my house that sends 100's of gallons of runoff into the local tributaries when it rains heavily.
I could make it one big field of rocks that would mean I was constantly weeding. I don't think that's an option where I live either.
I don't bag my clippings. I mulch them back into the yard. I don't use chemicals on it, and I wait as long as I can between cuttings because I simply don't like doing it.
It holds the topsoil in place and absorbs the rain. That's about it. Otherwise, it's just one more thing my old behind's got to do that I don't want to do. To me grass isn't "wealth" it's a PITA!
Exactly correct.
"We make product, and you have to hold product," said Cook. "So that takes the serendipity of running into people, and bouncing ideas off, and caring enough to advance your idea through somebody else because you know that'll make it a bigger idea," he added.
