It feels like the initial ban decision was driven by some high level exec (probably Phil Schiller)? If it was happened to be reviewed carefully by lawyers and public relations, they cannot really ban Epic so quickly. There are too many uncertainties and if you do something wrong, that puts government relations at huge risk. Typical employees cannot be held accountable for such decisions, not even low tier VP.
- mulmen 3y agoIf a VP is "low tier" then isn't calling them a VP at all just title inflation? At what point is a person responsible for the consequences of their actions regardless of intent?

This naturally creates "tier" between them, since a single CEO cannot manage all of them. > At what point is a person responsible for the consequences of their actions regardless of intent? It depends, but when it's something like fighting back against one of the most powerful supranational government entity like EU, the most senior leadership as well as the board must be involved. Not even Tim Cook cannot decide it alone and they clearly didn't want to escalate this matter to that level so quickly pulled it back.
- Antrikshy 3y agoIt’s not uncommon for VP to be a lower level exec title at massive companies like Apple. They’re not low tier by any stretch compared to most employees. They’re still high level leaders.
