Apple CEO Tim Cook Says He Gets Up At 5 AM To Read Customer Feedback

He believes that client feedback inspires him since it gives him delight to know that Apple's technologies and products are making a positive difference in their lives.

Apple's Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook has revealed that he starts his day around 5 am religiously reading the feedback their customers have sent to the company. He said in an interview with GQ Magazine, "If you're in the business, like we are, of creating technology that really enriches people's lives - you want to know what it's doing. You want to know how people are feeling about it."

He further continued, "Of course, I get some complaints as well. Those are cool too because I want to stay grounded in terms of what our users are thinking, what they're feeling." The outlet further mentions that Mr Cook often forwards these emails to his employees.

He believes that client feedback inspires him since it gives him delight to know that Apple's technologies and products are making a positive difference in their lives. The executive also explained why customer ratings make his mornings better and drive him to do better. Sharing an example he said that a customer, who had an iPhone 14, informed him that the device's collision detection feature assisted him in calling for help when he went into a seizure. Mr Cook then emphasised the phone's Emergency Satellite Connectivity feature, which allows individuals to call for emergency services in locations where there is no mobile network.

Tim Cook is one of the few chiefs of a major technology company whose email address is open to the public, implying that the company is committed to giving a better product and ensuring Apple takes customer feedback into consideration.

In January, it was announced that Mr Cook will be taking a massive pay cut in 2023. Apple stated in the filing that the CEO requested a change following a shareholder vote on his pay contract. He will also receive fewer restricted stocks if he retires before 2026, according to the company's SEC filing.

CEOs Share the Pain as Corporate Boards Take a New Approach to Pay

Following the recent market decline, corporate boards are implementing a novel strategy for executive compensation. Some of the most well-known and well-paid CEOs in the country are seeing their pay cut, a trend that may only be just beginning.

Top executives, including Apple’s Tim Cook, Morgan Stanley’s James Gorman and Goldman Sachs’ David Solomon, have suffered pay cuts.

The move follows a difficult year for the stock market, with 2022 being the worst year for the S&P 500 since 2008.

An increasing number of businesses are cutting jobs among their rank-and-file employees as they get ready for potential economic turmoil. The reductions in executive compensation are part of a larger trend in which businesses are attempting to balance the needs of their stakeholders and employees.

Salary cuts are also a response to increasing social and shareholder pressure on companies to demonstrate greater corporate responsibility and accountability.

The trend toward lower CEO salaries suggests that companies are taking these demands for accountability seriously and are looking for ways to demonstrate their commitment to responsible corporate governance.

It is unclear whether the trend of CEO pay cuts will continue or if it will spread to more corporations.

Still, recent moves by corporate boards mark a shift towards greater responsibility and accountability in executive compensation.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon had to cut salaries by nearly 30% after the company laid off 3,200 employees.

Following the announcement of 12,000 job cuts by the company, Google CEO Sundar Pichai also promised a “very significant” pay cut. The difficult economic climate is highlighted by this trend, and top executives must shoulder some of the burden.

CEOs Overpaid

CEO pay cuts make the headlines, but the fact remains that these executives are still among the highest paid in the world.

Apple’s Tim Cook is a prime example, as despite a 40% reduction in his target pay package, he still took home $49 million in total compensation.

Research from Equilar shows that the median CEO pay among the 500 largest public companies by revenue rose 18.9% to $14.2 million in fiscal 2021, with tech CEO pay rising the most at 42.1% to $19.1 million.

However, some experts, such as Nell Minow, Vice Chair of ValueEdge Advisors, argue that CEO pay remains excessive, even after the recent cuts. “They are still overpaid. Let me be super clear about that,” Minow stated.

While CEO pay cuts may be a new trend, executives still receive significant compensation compared to the average worker. Whether these cuts will become a permanent trend remains to be seen, but for now, the world’s top CEOs are still earning more than most people can dream of.

Pay of Execs

Amid a challenging economic environment, corporate boards are cutting the pay of some leading CEOs in a new trend that is gaining momentum. 

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, James Gorman, CEO of Morgan Stanley, and David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs, are among the top executives who have seen their pay reduced.

The pay cuts are a response to the dreadful performance of the stock market in 2022 and the need for corporations to brace for a potential recession by laying off workers. This move is seen as a show of solidarity, with CEOs sharing the pain of the rest of the company.

Nell Minow, Vice Chair of ValueEdge Advisors, which advises institutional investors on corporate governance, is relieved that some boards are finally imposing pay cuts on CEOs. She believes that this is the way pay is supposed to work, as traditionally, CEO pay has been all upside with no downside. 

CEOs would often receive all the credit and money for good times but then blame external factors for the downside. The trend of reducing CEO pay is a positive step towards making CEOs more responsible.

Despite the pay cuts, these top executives are still earning significant amounts of money and stock awards. 

According to the latest research from Equilar, the median CEO among the 500 largest public companies by revenue made $14.2 million in fiscal 2021, an increase of 18.9% from the previous year. 

Tech CEOs have received the largest pay hikes, with the median CEO pay surging by 42.1% in 2021 to $19.1 million...Read More

don't make me tap the sign

[image id: screenshot of the simpsons "don't make me tap the sign" meme, where the sign is edited to read "“Hastur was a Duke of Hell. Crowley wasn’t even a local councilor” - Good Omens (1990)" /end id]

update: re-read the book lately and realized they spell it "counsellor" bc they're british. this makes sense but it also means my american ass can't help but read "counsellor" as the american "counselor" which is like a therapist or mental health consultant (the way i spelled it originally is like. someone who sits on a council. which is what i'm sure they meant). just wanted to share the fun image of crowley as a therapist ("I see I see. have you tried yelling at plants?"), or even funnier, that "Duke" as a title is like. a level above therapist. grand therapist. high throne of therapy. tier 1 therapist hastur la vista.

what is h&b club, im just curious

oh its just a club i made for emilio's company! its named after the littledica pack tech stuff i use for it dfkdflk

the thing i’d say having done both types is like a regular retail job in like a supermarket, cheap to mid range clothing store, home goods shop, drugstore, etc primarily builds character. like anything where you’re mostly either dealing with stock or putting stuff through a till and for better or worse you are just a fairly anonymous cog in the company machine. as soon as you go up a tier to jobs in the high end/luxury sectors where you have individual sales target and earn commission etc this will either crush your soul to pieces or turn you into the worst uber competitive corporate bootlicker imaginable with very few lucky people hitting the sweet spot inbetween

Revolutionary Love. 7/8

Story: 7

Acting: 9

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Office Girls (twainesse drama) ; Cunning Single Lady (kdrama) ;

The kdrama takes the classic rich elite ceo family storyline to the next level. It surrounds itself about the injustices of society's issues and Korean labour laws. Just don’t take it too seriously at times, while switching off your brain and enjoy the ride. It’s over the top and the main leads character played by Super Junior’s Siwon, dials up the ham, maybe sometimes overly too funny with the naive dumb awe shucks act being a bit too annoying in the beginning episodes. His character does get a much needed character growth in the mid to later acts. Overall it’s a nice romantic romcom with a great bromance subplot too.

Baffled and pissed that Ted Lasso doesn't have a physical release either. No blooper reels?? No deleted or alternative scenes?? No insight into the story structure shift from a half-hour to an hour over the course of the series (a wild change for a show to even be allowed to do)?? This show won awards. It's nominated for more. They really think not enough people will care about it to physically buy a copy with extra stuff on it?? I hope there's at least a YouTube video or podcast out there somewhere, but why do I have to scour the internet crossing my fingers for something that an officially released physical copy of it could easily provide? Studios want film & TV production dead, is what it really feels like. How do you pass along knowledge of how an industry works, how do you inspire future generations to learn more about and pursue it, if you suck the energy of current workers in it dry and slam the door behind them so no one else has a way in?
