New Delhi: Boss Apple Inc.
Boss Tim Cook in 2021 is 1,447 times from the average employee at Giant Tech, submission on Thursday showed, driven by the stock award that helped him get a total of almost $ 100 million.
In 2021, paying median for employees was $ 68.254, said Apple, added that it had chosen a new median employee for comparison because of changes in recruitment and compensation.
