Very good point. He didn't demand the termination, that was a power play by the heads of HR who seem to be the real bad guys here. But I'm sure there was a mirror image of activity going on at Apple.

He didn't have to. And learning of the consequence, he didn't seem to care.

Really? Blame the minions? They offered someone's head to save their own.

To me that's almost as sickening as the dismissal - the obsequiousness of the HR department
