From now on, only whites. I assume.
i don’t think i spotted a single poc in their latest fun little iphone 16e(?) announcement- pretty sure basically all of the previous announcements included some sort of corpo virtue signalling
Do you have an example of any company using “qutoas?” I’m starting to think that’s just a boggyman term at this point.
We thank our shareholders for standing firm on this issue while we preemptively capitulate.
I guess you didn’t read the article.
“As the legal landscape around this issue evolves, we may need to make some changes to comply, but our north star of dignity and respect for everyone and our work to that end will never waver,” Mr Cook said during a question-and-answer session at the company’s annual shareholder meeting.
He noted that Apple did not use “quotas” for hiring - a practice that has come in for some of the fiercest criticism - while saying the firm’s strength came from a culture where “people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives come together”.
“We’ll continue to work together to create a culture of belonging where everyone can do their best work,” he added, saying the company would remain “committed to the values that have always made us who we are”.
They committed to nothing but a vague concept of change to stifle the shareholders. Apple has made diversity a priority for decades. They’re not changing their values for money.

I read that part and also this one:
[Angela Jackson] said she wanted to see the company lead by making a more robust business case for the programmes. “They’ve made the right moves. The one step they could go further… is to really say, 'Yes it’s our values, we believe it’s the right thing to do, but it’s also an economic imperative.”
Cook’s statement about “needing to make some changes to comply”, while not indicating any immediate changes, is setting the stage for future compromise, not a principled defense of its policies.
That was after already declaring their stance on DEI and receiving pushback. It was merely a way to shut up their largest shareholder, Vanguard. The economic imperative was a way to try and convince them that it’s in the best interest of protecting the business against lawsuits to maintain the practices in place. That fell on deaf ears.
If you own even one share of Apple stock, you can live stream the shareholder meetings. It went back and forth until it was clear that Tim had to say something to move on, but as it says in the article, he committed to nothing tangible.
Are we talking about the same apple? Lol
Did you have a different experience working there? I’m a white cishet man and was the minority in my location of hundreds of employees.
So, you are just a cuck then?
My opinions on working there vary from topic to topic. There were plenty of things I could be critical of, but not how they treated us as employees. Besides the great environment, there is high pay, benefits, employee stock plan, and bonus RSUs, even for entry-level employees. It’s very rare in today’s corporate culture.
Sorry Tim, as a gay, you are actually a DEI hire. Off to Guantanamo now.
“Actually, the shareho-- I…mean I have decided not to be a gay anymore.”
Rainbow fash
Tim Cook: no product vision, no actual principles.
Weak. Spineless.
So many people here didnt read the article.
Tim Cuck
Shareholders said no.
Actually, they said no to getting rid of the diversity program. https://apnews.com/article/apple-dei-shareholder-proposal-annual-meeting-96637c8d4fa3d5e2a73dc59a59c2485b
Coward, nothing but cowards. How do they ever stand up to unions??
Because they can reach out to “consultant groups” that specialize in third world mercenary actions and union busting.
To fight Trump they have to think for themselves.
So, guaranteed roles for conservative white men then?
No more Homosexuals ?
