Apple VP leaves company after vulgar comment goes viral on TikTok
Cnbc ^

Posted on 09/29/2022 4:18:52 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

The departure was spurred by a TikTok video posted Sept. 5, according to Bloomberg, which first reported the news.

In the video, reviewed by CNBC, Blevins is getting out of an expensive Mercedes-Benz sports car and is asked what he does for a living by Daniel Mac, who has a channel centered around asking people in expensive cars questions.

In the video, Blevins responds, “I race cars, play golf and fondle big-breasted women. But I take weekends and major holidays off.” The remark appears to be a reference to a similar quote in the movie “Arthur.”

If he said he put baloney in his toolbox he’d be brave and courageous and they’d promote him.

I tend to think the loudest complainers also had the smallest breast measurements, or have always been insecure.
He said nothing wrong. I think it used to be called, Oh, what was that phrase?....”Having a sense of humor” Yes! that’s what it used to be called.

Any positive assertion of male heterosexuality is instantly attacked. Collectivists are afraid people might start to remember it once existed. :)

Oh I am pretty sure he was woke. He just stepped off the reservation for a moment by saying what the other woke men would say if they weren’t complete and utter gutless pussies

I wouldnt have left for that... I would have left only if the president of the company decided he was going to scold and fire me. but the response would be the same for the president or some gopher down the ranks who wanted to take issue about my comment. they all would get a big FO!! before, and after!!

Executive give into the demands of the crazies. The cannibals will eat anyone.

Started first with the glass ceiling, then diversity, then homosexuality, then environmental concerns, wealth inequality, sexually confused, …. They keep giving into everything as opposed to get your job done, make money, make the company money and what you do on your own time is none of our business and our work is not for anyones politics.
