The claim was that Tim Cook's salary is enough to pay for "every apple salary in new york"
Given that equating "salary" and "total compensation" is a reasonable interpretation, and by the context the talk was about front line apple store workers rather than high level developers, the figures add up (and then some)
I'm making no judgement on Cook's compensation or value, just confirming the numbers, but you seem to take that as a personal attack.
- Bud 5y agoYou're also leaving out the part that the year in question included a very large stock grant that Cook doesn't get every year; in most years his total compensation would be dramatically smaller, even if you assume he could magically liquidate all stock without depressing the stock price and also pay zero tax on that. As for you pretending to be shocked that I considered your comments a personal attack, um, er, uh, you called me a "pedantic asshole". I think that qualifies.
