I read that Tim Cook has a weekly Sunday evening meeting with his staff; this seems reasonable, since that time might otherwise be wasted on family, friends, or home responsibilities - rather than taking care of critically important Apple business that can't wait until Monday morning.

Sunday evening in California is Monday morning in Asia - if you wait until Monday morning in CA to start things off you burn a whole day.

Now, I doubt Tim is happy with people leaving early on Friday afternoon either - but given Apple’s business and the importance of the Asian supply chain, a Sunday evening meeting is justified.

Also anyone reporting directly to Tim Cook is being paid tens of millions per year for their trouble…
