Summary
Apple shareholders rejected a conservative group’s call to abandon DEI efforts, citing legal and financial risks.
The group, referencing Trump’s ban on federal DEI programs, argued that such initiatives are divisive. Tim Cook defended Apple’s approach, affirming respect for all while acknowledging potential policy revisions.
Other major companies have reduced their diversity programs under conservative pressure, but Apple maintains that DEI integral to its success.
Advocates argue DEI broadens fairness and inclusivity, while critics claim it undermines merit-based hiring.
Bruh how did you get hired at apple? You couldn’t have been as shit as you’ve described yourself.
They described working in retail so my guess is they worked at the Apple Store.
Correct. I was hired as a Xmas temp to work the Avenues (accessories) and during that time applied to the Genius Bar as a Technical Specialist and got hired.
As the other person who replied said, this is as Apple Retail / Genius Bar.
When I say I was shit I mean that I’d had no less than 50 jobs at the point I got in at Apple. All dead end jobs where you get treated like crap, paid crap and expect 150% effort. Coupled with ADHD I would just get bored, have shit time keeping and get fired, just not turn up for shifts or just stop going alltogether.
I like to think they hired me because I am good at being a fake extrovert and I am passionate and that must have come across.
I started retail as a Xmas temp for 3 months and during this time applied for the Genius Bar, which lead to all of the information in my original comment.
Happy to answer any more questions though.
