Apple is one of the most important companies in the world and, as a user has shared in a video that has gone viral on TikTok, makes a very curious gift to the workers when they celebrate 10 years in it. Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Woznak and Ronald Wayne, it currently has a global workforce of 164,000 employees and its value exceeds the three trillion dollar barrier.
Apple’s gift to its employees
It is an aluminum statue with the Apple logo. Now, it’s not just any aluminum, but aluminum 6,000, the same used to make the iPhone. Therefore, it is a very special gift that the workers receive with pleasure and enthusiasm.
It’s about a block of aluminum molded by means of a diamond cut, whose finish has been anodized to create a protective layer. The shiny Apple logo is made from stainless steel.
It should be noted that the statue is personalized with the employee’s name and their anniversary date. Inside the box is also a thank you note signed by Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple. What do you think of the gift?
The thank-you note says so: Congratulations on reaching this milestone. The work you’ve done, the challenges you’ve overcome, and the breakthroughs you’ve made possible are a profound and lasting contribution to Apple’s mission to improve the world. On behalf of everyone at Apple, thank you for everything you bring to our journey together.”.
