Damn! 1000 employees who think they can tell Tim Cook what to do. I wonder how much muscle these Participation Trophy idiots have out of the 147,000 employees who work for Apple. I hope you signed your name and that you use your severance pay to buy an apartment in Gaza that Hamas just happens to be using to lob missiles into Israel.
No, at most 999 since the article says 'nearly' (smile).
Given your accurate report of 147,000 (2020) worldwide employment, at 999 the percentage is a minuscule 0.68% of that workforce.
