      If you rise to Tim Cook’s level you must be someone that is either willing to put your personal values aside or you do not have them to begin with. The growth of the company matters more and if you prioritize your values you will be filtered the moment you misalign with whatever prevents maximal growth.

I don’t think he’s anywhere as (morally) bad as Steve Jobs was, but he’s doing his job as expected.
