Sorumbático

Steve Jobs está afastando-se da Apple por problemas médicos. Em um email aos funcionários, Steve diz que o porquê deste anúncio deve-se ao fato de que seus problemas de saúde “são mais complexos do que imaginava” Em seu lugar, fica Tim Cook, C.O.O. da empresa. Teremos amanhã (15/01) uma real noção do impacto dessa notícia nas ações da empresa. Segue abaixo o email de Steve na íntegra:

Team,

I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very
personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my
personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my
family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the
past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex
than I originally thought.

In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health,
and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary
products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the
end of June.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day
operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team
will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major
strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully
supports this plan.

I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.

Steve
