Am I missing something here ….lol.

Unless he was physically or mentally abusing anyone I can understand his dismissal….but for having a sense of humor with the comments he made come on!

He should’ve just apologized and deleted his TikTok video. Dismissed of his 20 year position? IMO, ridiculous honestly. People just don’t have sense of humors anymore these days. Every little thing seems to upset someone so let’s all just walk on eggshells

You beat me to it, Pink. I do not see a valid reason for his dismissal. As a society, we’ve become too sensitive and clearly Apple feared a backlash of some sort. It’s ridiculous, in my opinion

I agree. Was it in bad taste? Probably. Was it bad enough to warrant being fired? Absolutely not.

More than anyone, the maker of the Tic Tac video, who asked the question, should be cancelled, simply for his reply, “That is quite the career, I am looking to get into that!”
