There is a good chance they will also ditch DEI when it start to cut into their monies more.

apple is so good for having a diverse group of slaves to build their phones

A lot of them are temps/contracted too, which is even worse. (at least for their warranty/refurbishment locations)

Well they don't love you.

They can tout DEI and idpol all they want. They're still stiffing union workers.

Companies are not things to love.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't doubt that all companies push back against unions. They force the company to pay more. The only thing I have to say regarding Costco is that it usually pays its employees a much better wage than most stores.

I've also heard this. Their employees are generally pretty happy about working there.

lol I am sure as soon as DEI practices are removed everyone will only get hired based on their skillset.and not their "club memberships". what a bunch of dickwads, as if people don't know what you are trying to achieve.

Tim Cook is really playing both sides of the fence here.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 12 hours ago

The real fence is capital vs labor, and he doesn’t play both sides of that one

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

He always has.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, he did give a generous "personal donation" to the Trump inauguration.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

He was going to give it to whoever won. Of course he wants to be on the good side of those in power. It's not about the president, it's about Tim Cook.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Really? Because he didn’t the last time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It's about him being a dipshit.

If you are in charge of a company whose market cap is larger than most nations’ GDP, you have to engage in diplomacy. Sometimes that’s blatant and overt corruption.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

Maybe his interpretation of DEI would be more H1Bs from India?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

If I recall he said they were going to remove it and the board said no

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

IIRC it was a bunch of shareholders who demanded removal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh ok maybe I'm misremembering
