Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple, the world's most valuable company. At the end of all the keynotes, usually send an email to all employees of your company: either Genius or placing devices in the warehouse. According to him, all the employees make up the great company and that's the way it is. If there were no engineers, there wouldn't be all these cool gadgets, and if there were no brick-and-mortar stores, users wouldn't be able to troubleshoot or test the company's products. They all make up Apple and Tim Cook knows it. After each keynote he thanks them for the work done by and for Apple.
Today, Apple employees received an email from Tim Cook discussing his work and also an award for his work: more holidays for Thanksgiving. After the jump you have the entire email and its analysis.
Machine:
It has been an exciting summer. For the first time, we have launched two new product lines for the iPhone. iOS 7 was created from a deep collaboration between our design and engineering teams, bringing our customers an impressive new user interface and new features. Introducing OS X Mavericks and the most powerful Mac ever made. The App Store celebrates a new milestone - 50 billion downloads. And we continue to express our love of music with iTunes Radio and the iTunes Festival.
I had the opportunity to visit some of our stores during the iPhone launch. There is no better place to see and feel why Apple is special. The best products of the land. Energy. Enthusiasm. The best clients from all over the world. Passionate team members focused on enriching people's lives. Innovative products that serve humanity's deepest values and highest aspirations.
And I am proud to say that Apple is also a force for good in the world beyond our products. Whether it is improving working conditions or the environment, defending human rights, helping to eliminate AIDS, or reinventing education, Apple is making an important contribution to society.
None of this would have been possible without you. Our most important resource is not money, intellectual property, or any capital asset. Our most important resource is - the soul - our people.
I realize that many of you worked tirelessly to bring us here. I know it requires great personal sacrifice.
In recognition of your incredible efforts and accomplishments, I am happy to announce that we are extending the Thanksgiving holiday this year. We will close on November 25, 26 and 27 so that our teams can have the entire week off. Retail, AppleCare and some other teams will have to work that week so that we can continue to serve our customers. But they will receive the same number of days off at an alternate time. Please check with your administrator for more information. Our international teams will schedule vacation days at a time that is most suitable for your specific country.
I hope the extra time is rest and relaxation. You deserve it. Details will be available on AppleWeb soon.
I am extremely proud of all of you. I am in awe of what you have accomplished and couldn't be more excited for the future. Enjoy the time out!
Tim Cook
The key points of the Tim Cook email
- Holidays: As you can see in the email, more holidays are offered to Apple employees. They will be on November 25, 26 and 27, that is, they will have a whole week of vacation taking advantage of Thanksgiving (United States)
- exceptions: Not everyone will have a vacation on those dates. Employees from Retail, Apple Care and some other service will work that week to meet the needs of people who go to physical stores. They will have another vacation period throughout the year. Surely for Christmas or Easter.
- Saying thanks: Tim has been very focused on thanking everyone who makes Apple. Sure they have done well but what if a new product or keynote is coming up? It is clear that they give vacations so that they return with more force ...
