    Someone should ask Tim if they’ll start firing gay executives since they probably only got the job because they were a DEI hire, right?

    No, we voted against that. And DEI is better for Apple in the long run. Be a leader, Tim.

    “His comments came just minutes after a majority of shareholders rejected a proposal calling on the tech giant to consider ending its diversity policies, such as the use of race and sex in hiring decisions.”

      such as the use of race and sex in hiring decisions.”

      this is such a misunderstanding of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and it’s a shame to see BBC frame it in this way. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies are there to REDUCE the “use of race and sex” in hiring decisions by reducing bias towards majority demographics. There may be policies to promote race/sex in the PRE-hiring process to ensure you have diverse candidates to consider, but it is NOT demographic quotas that override hiring based on merit.

      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

      Sounds like the goal is to keep pushing for diversity, equity, and inclusion, but they might change tactics to comply with state or federal regulations.

        Sounds like they’ll give lip service to DEI in the name of appeasing the shareholders but push to limit it and suck trumpian cock as much as possible

      What issue, Tim? Being inclusive, and supportive of different people, has apparently turned into an issue.

      All the two-faced snakes are showing their true nature, now that there’s nothing reason to hide
