Tim Cook, presedintele companiei Apple, a fost un sustinator deschis al democratei Hillary Clinton, iar in ciuda eforturilor sale de a strange bani si simpatie pentru ea, aceasta a pierdut cursa prezidentiala in fata lui Donald Trump. Ieri Donald Trump a fost ales noul presedinte al SUA, iar Tim Cook a trimis astazi o scrisoare angajatilor companiei Apple.
In aceasta scrisoare presedintele Apple vorbeste despre puterea pe care angajatii companiei trebuie sa o aiba pentru a merge mai departe, in ciuda alegerii lui Donald Trump. El spune ca desi exista numeroase incertitudini cu privire la viitor, compania Apple nu-si va schimba obiectivele pe termen lung privind dezvoltarea.
Donald Trump a criticat in mod deschis Apple in numeroase randuri, fie ca a fost vorba despre nelansarea unui iPhone cu ecran mare, a refuzului de a-si repatria profitul, sau de a fabrica produse in SUA. Donald Trump a afirmat si ca va obliga compania Apple sa-si fabrice produsele in SUA si sa isi repatrieze profitul, insa el a facut multe afirmatii controversate pe care nu le va indeplini.
Mai jos aveti intreaga scrisoare trimisa de catre Tim Cook angajatilor cu privire la Donald Trump si va fi interesant de vazut cum va functioan compania in urmatorii 4 ani. Este clar ca Apple ar putea avea viata grea sub domnia lui Donald Trump, asa ca ramane de vazut ce se va intampla in final.
“Team,
I’ve heard from many of you today about the presidential election. In a political contest where the candidates were so different and each received a similar number of popular votes, it’s inevitable that the aftermath leaves many of you with strong feelings.
We have a very diverse team of employees, including supporters of each of the candidates. Regardless of which candidate each of us supported as individuals, the only way to move forward is to move forward together. I recall something Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said 50 years ago: “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” This advice is timeless, and a reminder that we only do great work and improve the world by moving forward.
While there is discussion today about uncertainties ahead, you can be confident that Apple’s North Star hasn’t changed. Our products connect people everywhere, and they provide the tools for our customers to do great things to improve their lives and the world at large. Our company is open to all, and we celebrate the diversity of our team here in the United States and around the world —regardless of what they look like, where they come from, how they worship or who they love.
I’ve always looked at Apple as one big family and I encourage you to reach out to your co-workers if they are feeling anxious.
Let’s move forward —together!
Best,
Tim”
