Tim Cook récompense ses employés par des congés

On ne sait pour l'heure, si la lettre de Tim Cook a été envoyée à l'équipe en charge du nouveau Maps : le CEO d'Apple a décidé d'offrir aux employés, quelques jours de congés, durant Thanksgiving, chose qu'il avait déjà réalisé l'an dernier.

Team,

Apple is having another incredibly successful year, thanks to all of the hard work by you and your teams. Your focus and dedication to making the best products on earth is what makes Apple such an incredible place.

In a little over six months we’ve launched outstanding new products in each of our major categories, starting with the new iPad this spring. The response was incredible, and continued to show Apple’s unrivaled leadership in this post-PC era. Over the summer we introduced the radically thin and light 15″ MacBook Pro with Retina display, and shipped Mountain Lion, the fastest-selling update to OS X ever. Today, iPhone 5 is taking the world by storm. And in the next few weeks we’ll ship the new iPod touch and completely redesigned iPod nano with innovative designs that our customers are going to love this holiday season.

To recognize the efforts that made this amazing year possible, I’m happy to announce that we’re extending the Thanksgiving holiday once again this year. We will shut down with pay on November 19, 20 and 21 so our teams can spend the whole week with their loved ones.

Retail and some other teams will need to work that week so we can continue to serve our customers, but please check with your manager about taking time off at a later date. Our international teams will also get an extra three days off during this quarter, scheduled at a time that’s best for them. Details will be available on AppleWeb.

Thank you for everything you do for Apple and please enjoy this much deserved break.

Tim Cook justifie ce petit bonus, par une année jugée exceptionnelle, aussi bien du côté d'iOS que de celui du Mac (On précise que le responsable de la gamme iMac n'a pas du rentrer de vacance...de Noël dernier.).

On le sait, travailler chez Apple implique parfois de faire don de ses soirées, voire de ses week-end, afin de tenir les délais. Ces quelques jours supplémentaires sont donc bien accueillis, surtout dans un pays où les congés payés n'ont pratiquement aucune obligation légale, et s'avèrent très variables suivant les entreprises.
