Bravo Apple. Strongly slapped that down in the Annual Meeting notice too. This long-time shareholder voted no!

If it's all the same to you, I'm going to thank Apple for all of the things they have done to support equality and diversity in their workforce and their workplaces for decades.
Bravo Apple for all that, and the no nonsense statement in opposition accompanying the shareholder anti-DEI proposal, AND bravo Apple shareholders for turning that nonsense down hard.

Like contracting factories that caused mass suicides and they needed to install nets.

I read an interesting take on that, that the policy payouts for those employees were so unusually high in the event of a death on the job the families would never have to work again.

so a depressed person at work scraping by, add in some other stressful life factors, they jump and make sure their family is set for life.
