Apple boss Tim Cook says DEI programmes may have to change
His comments came as shareholders rejected a call for the firm to consider ending its diversity practices.
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.
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.
Do you have an example of any company using "qutoas?" I'm starting to think that's just a boggyman term at this point.
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.
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
So, guaranteed roles for conservative white men then?
No more Homosexuals ?
Edit:
Someone add the punchline and spare me from down votes
