Did not loose him Apple fired him ~

Mr Deavers and 'others' can go straight to hell. Blevins was damaged and deserves compensation.

I’m with Blevins on this one. Apple erred and should reinstate him.

It was criminal they fired the guy for making that joke. The woke people will be the end of our competitive entrepreneurial edge.

Oh, no! “Some people complained”!? Lol. May Apple RIP.

Has Tim Cook commented on this? Seems way out of proportion to the incident.

This is sorta old news. And he was poorly quoting a movie. He really did nothing wrong except be a man.

Blevins has valuable skill. Forget about ungrateful hypocritical virtue signaling apple operating like the oppressive dictatorship they do business with. Go to work for a competitor and make them regret it.

No worries - he has millions plus huge mansions

Tony should be happy. He can enjoy his life knowing that at least a fraction of his soul remains intact.

Moral: don't make a questionable joke in the presence of snowflakes. The emotional trauma it causes will get you fired.

Go woke go broke

“Ask not for whom the bell tolls.”

My God, it was a joke, heaven forbid you ever say anything.

Tim Apple is overly sensitive about his flat chest

Apple is made up of a bunch of woke hypocrites who just screwed Chinese protesters w/ their BS upgrade! Then they virtue signal what, ethics by firing a long term loyal employee who did what? Quote Arthur? Shame!

One more reason my wife’s iPhone that I ordered in November isn’t coming in until the middle of January.

Seriously?

The woke are so offended by everything. coddled children.
