Tim Cook Says Apple Hiring Very Deliberately Amid Economic Uncertainty

[RandomTox]

It‘s all about $$$, Tim? Huh? It’s never enough for your type. Go fix MacOS Ventura crap instead.

 

[RandomTox]

Tim Cook is the best CEO out there in CEO Land. No wonder Steve Jobs knew to pick him.

Are you serious? What did he do?

 

[RandomTox]

Does hiring more staff result in ground-breaking features? I’ve never heard of that correlation before!

Does not work the other way around either.

 

[Eldaerenth Faexidor]

Are you serious? What did he do?

Oh nothing. He only made Apple the biggest and most successful company of the world. Lol.

 

[Zest28]

So before they just hired people because …. They could?

Yep. You got people in the tech industry working multiple jobs at the same time even as they hire too much people.

I’ll join you, landscaping is a wholesome and noble activity.

Will landscape for Apple Services

I don’t know. Anyone else not impressed by the landscaping around Tim in this photo? It looks a mess. Pay a gardener and mow it.

They're recreating the natural environment of California around the campus. This is better for the ecosystem and helps native wildlife, including many pollinators, which are vital to humanity's survival. Their campus is quite large, so it's nice that they did this. Mowing is a recent thing that humans started doing, including bringing in non-native grasses, which is bad for the local ecosystem. I would do the same as Apple if my HOA allowed it, lol. For now I have kids, so turf is essential for their play and for my wife's daycare business, but when we retire we are planning for on our off-grid home to be in more harmony with the local environment.

They tried to coach him how to act in public but this is all they got out of him… lost cause, it’s either scripted appearance or memoji Tim
/s

What he says is on point, but his delivery still sucks, he’s just not comfortable and sounds like he memorized it

We Apple. We give money to people to make product, you give money to take product. If you no give money, we no give money to people to make product.

His hands stay closed. I can tell Tim Cook has changed alot. Poor guy looks so innocent and under pressure. Not sure for the good or the bad.

He told Tim "I'll show up when you guys finish Safari, Music & Stage Manager".
In other news: Apple will hand free boots till 2027.

Self-fulfilling prophecy

 

[gnipgnop]

Translation for "economic uncertainty": the fed raised interest rates high enough that corporations can't rely on bond sales for generating free money anymore.

 

[gaximus]

Damn, I should applied when they were hiring Willy Nilly.

 

[Eldaerenth Faexidor]

Must have for landscaping lol

It's incredible what Phill mentions about windows machines carrying all these stickers, fast forward many years to today, and they are still doing it, so much for UX investment in the industry 🤣.

Another one of the many aspects Apple still remains far ahead from its competition. Packaging.

Have you been at the top of a company?

Stop thinking like an employee.

 

[philcourage]

If hiring is "very deliberately" now, does that mean before it was randomly, unintentionally?

 

[Apple_Gabe]

I'm ok with slowing down on the hiring. I'd have a problem if they started laying people off.

 

[CarAnalogy]

Uh oh. We’ve gone from “deliberate” to “very deliberate.” Let’s hope it doesn’t get any more deliberate.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Next up... Ultra deliberate.

 

[CarAnalogy]

Next up... Ultra deliberate.

Ultra deliberate Pro Max.

Of course, and that was Apple's secret for becoming one of the most successful companies in the world, manufacturing and selling 600,000+ iPhones per day, every day of the year (on the average).

 

[mayga1]

At least there are no layoffs being reported. But I have an idea!

How about Apple Execs in the company take a pay cut to help out the economy?

Layoffs can come in the form of calculated terminations over a period of time. The term layoff is a detriment to stock and public perception(or reality) that a company is floundering. Apple's pr works overtime to give them this aurora of perfection. I don't see apple using the word layoff, eventhough they will terminate and cut hundreds of employees and jobs.

 

[Someyoungguy]

He's sort of not saying anything substantial, other than there is no general hiring freeze I guess - still better than announcing mass layoffs, but I don't see why a company in Apple's position would need to lay workers off.

I’ve become very irritated by the insubstantial comments that routinely come from Apple these days. They just shouldn’t say anything at all instead of using doublespeak and word salads.
