Comment Apple's veterans egos are taking over. (Score 0) 293
I feel Apple's biggest problem is it's veterans, those with the company for some time, and their egos are getting out and being expressed. More of the, "I've wanted to do this for a long time. Now I can." mentality. There is no restraint, no clear vision. It appears every department director has been freed to do as they seem fit. This is evident, from all the defending Apple did during the unveiling of the new Macbook Pros and through the press and social media after its October release.
Apple has lost their direction and has way too much money to understand they need to wrangle in everyone to get them back on track making truly amazing products. All they care about is moving the ticker and keeping it green through P&L performance and units moved, just like every other American company that relies on the stock market to gage performance in which Apple ultimately fails to meet expectations. Essentially Apple has become the Microsoft of the last 20 years or more so Pepsi Co.
