Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Apple shareholders rejected a conservative group’s call to abandon DEI efforts, citing legal and financial risks.

The group, referencing Trump’s ban on federal DEI programs, argued that such initiatives are divisive. Tim Cook defended Apple’s approach, affirming respect for all while acknowledging potential policy revisions.

Other major companies have reduced their diversity programs under conservative pressure, but Apple maintains that DEI integral to its success.

Advocates argue DEI broadens fairness and inclusivity, while critics claim it undermines merit-based hiring.

Bruh how did you get hired at apple? You couldn't have been as shit as you've described yourself.

They described working in retail so my guess is they worked at the Apple Store.

Correct. I was hired as a Xmas temp to work the Avenues (accessories) and during that time applied to the Genius Bar as a Technical Specialist and got hired.

As the other person who replied said, this is as Apple Retail / Genius Bar.

When I say I was shit I mean that I’d had no less than 50 jobs at the point I got in at Apple. All dead end jobs where you get treated like crap, paid crap and expect 150% effort. Coupled with ADHD I would just get bored, have shit time keeping and get fired, just not turn up for shifts or just stop going alltogether.

I like to think they hired me because I am good at being a fake extrovert and I am passionate and that must have come across.

I started retail as a Xmas temp for 3 months and during this time applied for the Genius Bar, which lead to all of the information in my original comment.

Happy to answer any more questions though.
