Michal Marek Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, promised during a conference in Sun Valley last month that the company would soon start issuing reports detailing the diversity of the company's workforce. As Cook promised, he did, the first report has been released and includes statistics on the gender and ethnic makeup of Apple's workforce. In addition, the executive director of the Cupertino corporation supplemented the figures with his open letter.
In the letter, Cook highlights the progress his company has made in recent years. However, he points out that he is still not completely satisfied with the numbers and that Apple has plans to further improve the situation.
Apple is committed to transparency, which is why we've decided to publish statistics about the company's racial and gender makeup. Let me first say: As a CEO, I am not happy with these numbers. They are not new to us and we have been working hard to improve them for some time. We are making progress and are committed to being as innovative in the diversity of our workforce as we are in creating new products…
Apple is also a sponsor of the Human Rights Campaign (Human Rights Campaign), America's largest gay and lesbian rights organization, as well as the National Center for Women and Information Technology (National Center for Women & Information Technology), which aims to encourage young women to get involved in science and technology development. The work we do for these groups is meaningful and inspiring. We know we can do more and we will.

Apple's report shows that 7 out of 10 Apple employees worldwide are male. In the US, 55% of the company's employees are white, 15% are Asian, 11% are Hispanic, and 7% are black. Another 2 percent of U.S. employees identify with multiple ethnicities, and the remaining 9 percent chose not to state their race. Apple's report then comes with detailed statistics of the company's personnel composition in the company's technological sector, non-technological sector and in leadership positions.
It is dedicated to diversity in the company one entire page on Apple's website and definitely worth attention. In addition to the mentioned statistics, you will also find the full text of Cook's open letter on it, among other things.
Shame on Apple, even this company is oppressed by neo-leftism ;(
can you elaborate a bit? you seem to have an interestingly unconventional view of these things
It is important how the employee works, what race he is. These quotas, statistics and similar crap are exactly this kind of crap.
so it's simple - if you're not satisfied with their work, buy a Samsung or Xiaomi ;)
You probably haven't seen the selection of candidates during selection procedures in big companies, I have... Apple has long ceased to be a garage, and in my opinion these things make sense in a wider context from the government's point of view, when I certainly don't want parts of the population to become completely stunted... we haven't solved the Roma problem in our country 40 years and we still don't solve it, and that's how it turns out, while gifted children can be so calm, but they have a problem because they never get a chance
That's one way of looking at it. The other side of the coin is that some groups will not take a higher-quality member, because they have enough members of this group and would rather take someone of lesser quality from the minority in order to have correct statistics... The same bullshit as the percentage representation of women in leading positions in the EU. I'm in favor, if the person is up to it, that they take him and it doesn't matter what group he is from. But it must not be just because of some percentage in the statistics of the number of employees.
I look at it as a signal towards the 'not-average' employee to apply for a job with them, as far as I know, there are no limits they have to follow (if there is, companies prefer to pay a 'fine' to maintain the quality of people)
It may be a piece of paper, but discrimination in hiring is very real and happens
You leftists have been arguing this way for decades, the result is the destruction of values in the cell of society, positive discrimination, quotas, genderism, multiculturalism and other pernicious constructs and exciting intolerance across society.
You are constantly reshaping human nature by force and nagging people to say that a white sphere is a black square.
At the end of your experiment, there will only be total disruption and chaos, and unfortunately some short-cut totality can take over again.
Your social constructs are seriously not worth it.
I won't stop a single bit of what you've sweated here and I'm certainly not a leftist, so you're quite out of line... it's nice to complain, this is bad, it's bad, criticizing the current situation will solve the problem and your contribution has that much value - nowadays it's not there is a choice between good and bad solutions, only lesser and greater evil
This is the first time I see one of the main representatives of Apple in such a video :)

I can't help but see Annie Lenox and Obama in a number of these faces (:
