Maybe there is something else going on, because losing a job over this is just silly.
Not sure why a few are so outraged over the joke. It was just a joke, and quoting a movie as well.
People need to relax, and enjoy life a little more.

Steve Jobs wouldn't last in today's culture with the things he said and the way he treated people. Maybe that's why there are no more Steve Jobs type people out there?

Good morning, Mr. Tim Cook,
Congratulations on receiving your Master's degree. How's the trip to Europe so far?
How about just not saying stupid ****?
Good riddens. Apple doesn't need that PR blunder bag working for them.
It has nothing to do with quoting a movie. I love quoting movies and joking around as much as the next person.
But whether I’m the face of a trillion dollar company, or just representing them as an employee, I’m not gonna blurt out quotes into a camera, about fondling women and being a big shot, especially when I don’t know where the content is gonna end up.
This World is too PC, I completely agree. But he slipped up and looked like a d-bag doing so. Knowing that you have to watch your every word and move nowadays, he should’ve known better.
Yah, probably true. So he blew it a bit.
Still I feel sorry for him getting blasted over a few joking remarks. You drive a fancy car and you gonna make jokes about being "rich" a lot right? It's a natural defence mechanism. It's being a human. Losing a job over that sucks.
I think it's the other way around, it's when the person gets too rich and the symptom he has just magnified.
Well, I see that point also - but still it sucks that he got blasted.
Maybe it’s the unprofessional incels that were the real snowflakes all along… 😜
And that should be illegal.
One thing no one has commented is that his wife/significant other was sitting in the passenger seat and laughed at his joke. If he felt comfortable quoting a line about fondling women in front of his wife, it's probably not that big of a deal. People need to ease up a bit.
With extreme wealth comes extreme responsibility and should come extreme accountability.
Good on Jeff Williams for sacking him.
Tone from the top is everything in a big company, internally it sets direction, externally it sets reputation.

I'll bet you don't have many real friends.
What is considered "stupid" changes with the current in vogue social mentality.
We need a website that tallies the idiots that have lost everything over needless social media posts. Always assume you're being filmed, and always assume millions will see it.
Glad I don't live in the dystopian hellhole that is California.
Oh boy, communists are back at work I guess
It's been absolutely wonderful thus far! I can't believe I finally got my Master's degree and I really can't believe how spiffy I look with that dash of purple. Call me Deep Purple Tim!
People can't even tell an innocent joke without other control freaks wanting to destroy them.
Don't forget about ESG!
An honest guy. Something the world of 2022 just can't tolerate.
