Apple has hired a new human resources chief (Senior Vice President of People), Carol Surface, freeing up former retail + human resources chief Deirdre O’Brien, to focus solely on Apple’s sprawling worldwide retail operations as Senior Vice President of Retail.
Surface “brings an incredible depth of experience, which will be invaluable in supporting our teams around the world and building on everything that makes Apple so special,” the company said in a separate statement. “As we expand Apple Retail to reach more customers, Deirdre O’Brien will continue to lead the business with the same excellence and care that has helped our teams do their best work and deliver unparalleled customer service.”
Surface was hired by the iPhone maker from Medtronic Plc, a health technology company with about 100,000 employees. Cook said Surface will report to him and begin at Cupertino, California-based Apple in March.
At Apple, she’ll oversee a workforce that numbered 164,000 at the end of the company’s last fiscal year in September.

So they retired Chief of Design, but added a Chief of HR…
If you cannot tell Apple is rotting and dying on the inside, look no further than that.
IN THE MEAN TIME… the lefty commie press is ignoring the biggest story in business in decades.
Elon Musk FIRED 75% of the company. All useless virtue signaling leftist commie ‘quiet quitters’ (bless them they got their wish), and the company is creating and putting out more new products than ever and running great.
Apple could fire 7/8ths of it’s useless virtue signaling commie a****** employees and be a far far far far better company.
But in the mean time, we have a Chief of HR…
Everyone is missing the plot here. Apple is rotting from within from this woke horse*** culture.
Look at the downvotes. Looks like you hurt the libturds’ widdle feelings.
Kind of. They just use a vpn to register multiple votes. You can always tell because the one post has a zillion votes but others don’t. Anytime they do it I smile because it bothers them enough to waste their time doing it and I’m using them like a puppet to push a button that really says “I admit I’m this pathetic” over and over. I cherish the suffering I cause them.
Keep telling yourself that you’re in the majority, asshole.
Ah there’s my btch. Keep busy clicking little btch. Keep clicking. Just know this. You are my b*tch.
Thanks for ****. It really makes me think about how ******** and *****l*** are ******* *** *******. It’s a real bull**** *******.
So after making fun of the Microsoft Surface for years, now we have the Apple Surface?
That’s actually quite funny, but I don’t think the first six voters got the joke!

In this day and age, it’s very rare to be treated like a human by human resources.
I still remember that they had a diversity director, a black woman, someone who ticked two points on the diversity intersection meter. She made the horrible mistake of saying that diversity was more than just skin color, that diversity of the mind was an important factor. She sealed her fate with something to the effect of “12 white, blue-eyed, blonde men in a room can be a diverse group” She was fired almost immediately for that.
I believe she was a 20 year Apple veteran.
I wonder have they gone further over the edge or have the begun to return to at least a bit of rational thinking.
