Did Tim Cook not realize Saudi Arabia executed homosexuals before he shook his hand?

Can he really feign ignornance?

They are helping them violate human rights. Therefore, they do have a list. It's just the wrong type of list.

First reread the comment so you understand it.

I posit that there are two issues here: profit and rights for women. Now it seems to me that the real issue is profits over the rights of women. But please educate me on how this is a "multi-faceted" issue if I have left something out.

Maybe Apple and Google are entitled to make money from Saudi Arabia's oppression of women? Once again, please make your case.

If CEO's don't care about women in Saudi Arabia do you think they care about women in the USA? We have to start somewhere.

This is a great idea. But outside of this would anyone be interested in meeting up at tech companies and protesting?

That advice will probably get him fired. This will look like a fringe political issue to everyone else.

Some of us don't want to be bullied by nice guys.

Everyone makes mistakes and it is clearly a mistake to take money from repressive regimes. The #metoo movement should take a look at some of these companies.

I wouldn't even go there. I would just say that my family needs, lifestyle, or need to take care of my parents requires $X. Make something up.

Another option is to work at a company for a year and then demand remote during a critical part of a project. If they don't give you remote they lose a valuable asset and are behind schedule.
