- Schattenbaer 4y agoI'm glad they donated. The amount is a lot less than I expected, given the size of Apple's pockets.
- npretto 4y agoIt could be that the donation comes from matching the donations of some employees, or similar programs.
- pifm_guy 4y agoI assume this kind of small donation is usually in return for some favor. Ie. Can you help debug and fix this bug. It looks like about 2 days work, so we'll donate $2000.
- evilduck 4y ago4,999 is also just at the upper limit most mid tier managers are allowed to spend without getting an approval process involved.
