If you figure each engineer costs apple $250,000 a year, that’s the equivalent of 250 engineers. Could you imagine what apple could accomplish with 5 extra engineering departments? In what world is this one guy worth that much?

Our world!

You know, the Clown World timeline!

If we use our own criteria to evaluate Apple's success (and wage distribution), then it makes no sense from its very beginning. Just like with any company. EDIT: not started by us

I'm pretty sure that you could use one of those departments to fully automate management. Just go full data-driven and tie salaries to revenue. The engineers can take it from there, they're plenty smart

That poor, poor man. My heart goes out to him.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

He's about to quit Netflix and avocado toasts SMH

[–] hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Poor guy. Better start a gofundme right now.

[–] maxprime@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You could buy an Apple branded polishing cloth. Pretty much the same as a donation.

I would but I'm afraid my android phone is not on the list of compatible devices 😞

I bet he still tastes great with some BBQ sauce on. Eat that fat cunt.

Would it even be cannibalism? I'm pretty sure all the billionaires are some form of reptiles.

[–] Mojojojo1993@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Better cut down on the avos then

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Is Tim Apple going to be okay?

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Pffft, look at this loser over here, only making $63 million. Maybe he'll have to start cutting back on the avocado toast to make ends meet now.

[–] rickdg@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

That's why we don't see him wearing a vision pro. The poor guy can't afford it.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Someone make him a gofundme

waaay less of a drop than apple's prestige and UX quality since jobs

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Thots and preggers

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

He's almost too poor for having a private army now.

He is so cool like jobs. He was able to give one dollar extra to 63million of his employees. So generous!

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No wait that's 161,000 employees so that's $391 dollars each!

At my work, they gave us 500 bucks each plus a couple of days off. That guy, what a fuckin clown 🤡.
