My claim was not "Every worker at Apple"
But Apple the organization, Apple CEO and Board for sure, and probally all of the C-Level are looking at the share price...
Every public company would be the same
Every Private company would be looking at some other Shareholder value, be it dividends or some other Shareholder ROI metric
Many if not most of the employees would be shielded from that in some ways, and often presents itself in frustation over company policies, public statements, or actions because they feel the company should be looking to something other than Shareholder value because many companies present publicly to be doing something other than that, present to their employees as "we are all a family" and other platitudes because if a company came out with the hard reality people would recoil from that as most people do not desire to exist in reality but instead a nice delusion (this is also why we get the politicians we get)
