对于刚刚年满65岁的Tim Cook而言，这构成了其任期内最为动荡的时期之一。虽然Cook本人不太可能 立即离职，但他不仅需要通过加强薪酬方案来挽留关键人才，还必须在资深高管集体面临退休、外部竞 争加剧的背景下，重塑管理层级并确立新的继任路径。 据彭博报道，被视为苹果最受尊敬的高管之一、负责芯片业务的硬件技术高级副总裁Johny Srouji已与 首席执行官Tim Cook讨论过离职事宜，并表示正认真考虑在近期离开公司。就在此前一周，苹果的人 工智能负责人和界面设计负责人相继离职，总法律顾问和政府事务负责人也宣布即将退休。这一系列变 动意味着直接向Cook汇报的高管层出现了罕见的更替潮。 这场离职潮引发了市场对苹果"人才流失"的深切担忧，尤其是在公司亟需在人工智能领域追赶竞争对手 的关键时刻。大量顶尖AI人才正流向Meta、OpenAI及各类初创公司，这种人才失血可能进一步阻碍苹 果在生成式AI时代的追赶步伐，毕竟该公司在此领域目前尚未确立显著优势。 核心高管流失与芯片主管的去留悬念 作为硅谷长期以来的稳定典范，苹果正经历着公司几十年来最大规模的人事震荡，从高级管理层到关键 工程师的密集离职正在打破这家科技巨 ...
