Ondrej Holzman On his first ever visit to Germany, Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, also met with the country's highest representative. He discussed security and environmental protection issues with Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Tim Cook is visiting this week of our western neighbors and has so far appeared in the editorial office of the daily Bild and also in Augsburg, where there is a factory that supplies giant glass panels for Apple.
In the end, he also met with Angela Merkel in Berlin, as he did today informed Bild. "It was the first time I met with her," the Apple boss said of the meeting. “I was most impressed by her depth of knowledge on many different topics. We talked about security, net neutrality, as well as environmental protection, education and privacy.”
It is with the German view of privacy protection that Cook identifies with, and he is also concerned about government surveillance. "The Germans are very close to me because they have the same view of privacy as I do," Cook said.
When he headed to Bild's editorial office after meeting with the German chancellor, editor-in-chief Kai Diekmann was describing to him where the Berlin Wall once stood, dividing East and West Germany. Cook even took a piece of the Berlin Wall as Bild's attention.
Surely he must have been surprised by his education, since he knows President Obama. She is originally an erudite physicist/chemist with a scientific background. I'd rather not talk about the rest, because it probably doesn't belong here. Probably not even this article.
In Germany, they have always been further with the protection of personal data and it has gone so far that the boss must not know when you came to work, what you do and how long it took you, to put it very simply...
The only thing I haven't figured out is how the reward system works. It's clear for designers, for a completed project, but for normal people???
the boss must not know when you came to work and what are you doing? and then who controls them?
Obviously no one, or I haven't found out yet... This is information from a project where we deploy a workflow for approving invoices, and when we told them that the "program" would show how long the task was with the person before they approved it, they argued that I wrote... I'm not saying it's everywhere, I'm just writing what I encountered.
