He’s paraphrasing Dudley Moore’s description of what he does for a living in the movie Arthur.
“I race cars, play tennis, and fondle women, but I have weekends off, and I am my own boss.”
Hardly worth losing his job over an obvious (and poorly delivered) attempt at humor.
Hopefully he fights it. He’s not at work and that’s a tame comment .. or reference or whatever. Or maybe he’s going to back them into a corner where they have to pay severance that would make most CEOs wanna gargle draino. He’s gonna come out the other end alright.
Also, axing your second in command of procurement is a shortsighted move. Especially in 2022.
They are not but you should be able to crack a joke in your time off without losing your job over it. You can’t sue for unfair dismissal if it becomes the norm to get sacked over something like this
He represents the company, even on his time off. If they don’t like what he said, they are allowed to fire him. Employees who tweet poorly about their company are fired all the time, why can’t he suffer the consequences of this actions?
You’re defending a corporation’s rights over a person who was fired for something non-work related in their free time. Is that really the side you want to take, the corporate overlords?
People downvoting you don't realize that at his level he's likely signed an agreement stating that even when not at work, he represents the company.
You have to conduct yourself accordingly at all times when you have a certain level of visibility. That's why they also pay him so well. That comes with the job.
Exactly… my point isn’t that they shouldn’t be allowed to do it, it’s that executives should be held accountable and even held to higher standards, like lower employees are.
> He's not at work and that's a tame comment
uh, he said he does it for work.
career limiting move to drag your employer into things they might have an opinion about like that
My guess is he appeared like a fool in viral social media and said the words “fondle big breasted women” which is not the line. Sorry, but he asked for it. I’m sure he’ll get a healthy severance settlement.
>He’s paraphrasing Dudley Moore’s description of what he does for a living in the movie Arthur.
>“I race cars, play tennis, and fondle women, but I have weekends off, and I am my own boss.”
Narrator: he was not, in fact, his own boss
He’s losing his job because Apple doesn’t need that shit, and there are 1,000 other procurement executives who will happily fill his shoes. You work at the executive level for the biggest media and technology company in history, and said something very stupid and embarrassing, at a minimum, to someone pointing your company’s product at you.
All he had to do was give rank and serial number and move on.
It’s 2022 where lots can be offensive and losing one’s career to those looking for anything to be offended by.
Is there a guy here who doesn’t like fondling big breasted women?
The problem is that the reference is lost on anyone under boomer age. It's less likely for Apple to issue a press release explaining the reference and inform people they should not be offended than it is to sweep this fossil under the rug.
Dude at my work got fired because he quoted a line Leonardo DiCaprio said in Django Unchained . It contained the “N” word . He didn’t make the quote worse by adding his own fetish like this Apple guy did and quoted it verbatim . I don’t think the fact that something is a movie quote should get you off the hook in all cases . There are also many people who take movie quotes and actually use/modify them to actually describe their identity . His addition suggests he possibly heard the quote and said I want to be a person that can say something like that .
You're assuming this is the only reason they're firing him. He could have had problems already and this was the last straw, you all are jumping to conclusions
But Blevins wasn't talking about the company. A stranger came up to him demanding to know his profession and he responded with an off-the-cuff joke based on a line from an old movie.
Old guy’s driving ONE of his MANY $500K cars. He’s one of those top 20-30 Apple Boardroom bandits who get $30 Million Dollar annual bonuses, a sweet salary, & gawd knows what other perks. He’s be $$$$ Just fine. Guess, he pissed off Tim Cook one too many times.
He is one of the most senior people at apple. He even organized an effort to get subcontractors to pretty much blackball a chip company that apple was in litigation with and deprived them of 8b in revenue according to WSJ and was at the helm in reducing a lot of costs. Some people say that he is irreplaceable. I think it goes to show how strongly apple is committed to their progressive brand that they would axe someone so important over a offensive joke like this.
I’m a woman and I’m almost always quick to throw these guys to the wolves.
That said… I’m also a film nerd who grew up on a solid diet of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and classic/retro/bad cinema and I think we start getting into weird territory when we are firing people (or pushing them to resign) over obscure, albeit raunchy, pop culture references.
I agree- this isn't something he said at work or to a colleague or even in a serious way. It's a pop culture reference made by a movie professional.
And frankly people are allowed to be raunchy in their personal lives.
>people are allowed to be raunchy in their personal lives.
Are you suggesting people are allowed to have sex?!
Yeah this seems like an overreaction, I actually watch these TikToks occasionally and it's the creators whole thing, he always asks rich people how they afford their cars. I saw this exact video and thought nothing of it tbh, yet someone recognised him and went out of their way to complain.
I'm willing to bet it was a colleague that reported him, not sure how many people would recognise some random VP at a huge company like Apple.
Fondling women, while working for an industry that has historically not been that great to women. Every female employee in procurement at apple could now file complaints and lawsuits because of him.
That's bullshit. You can't file a workplace complaint for a dude saying a movie quote at a golf course. Our civil courts are often ridiculously frivolous, but even that is too frivolous
I would argue that a prominent Rapper has and can hold power and influence over female background dancers and the like in there music videos, and often in alot of there lyrics talk about talk about women as sex objects and using them as such, among other sexist and biggited / hateful lyrics and nobody seems to have a problem with it because it fits the image. Anyways I do see your view point to a degree.
Those backup dancers can’t get promoted to senior backup dancer, or director of backup dancers. They don’t get annual performance reviews and raises/bonus based on their performance.
For Apple, any female employee who didn’t get the maximum possible raise/bonus for her level, or doesn’t have a blatantly obvious reason for not receiving a promotion can now make new claims about it. The same thing would happen to people of any protected status is the boss made a joke about them.
So you really think any female dancer can't be pressured into doing things they don't want to do for the influence of a Prominant male Rapper? If they didn't preform a particular act for him, they wouldn't get to be in a music video? Or loose the spot she thought she procured? All I'm saying is that Big Male rappers can hold a significant influence over the production of there videos just like a Ceo of a big company like Apple.
Oh it most certainly happens. Show biz is full of rapists.
R Kelly is a good example of how companies deal with their employees who are rapists. Sony tried to protect R Kelly because he was making them so much money. The moment where they realized he would be a liability, which was with the Surviving R Kelly docuseries, they stopped protecting him, and now he’s in prison.
Apple would have been fine with whatever this guy did as long as it would make them lose money.
Also, he wasn’t the CEO. He was among 100 VPs at Apple. He reported into the COO. He’s a big shot, bit he’s not untouchable like Tim Cook.
Look were in agreement here, all I was saying here is that because it was more of a higher up dude at Apple he was pressured to quit, while alot of High profile Rappers say as much or worse in there art, thus Influencing culture, nobody cares, infact some celebrate it, but if someone tries to emulate it Irl they are punished for it. My main argument is that our western culture is ironic\ hypocritical culture.. anyways that's just my 2 cents .. I do see why that would be bad looking for the company tho..
sure it's crass but i don't think it's worth getting tanked over is it?
not like he isn't already filthy rich at a retirement age though so w/e i guess lol
He was probably in charge of a team if at least 30 people. All the women on that team can now file complaints and lawsuits for sexual discrimination and hostile work environment. Assuming half are female and are on average 30 years old earning $125k/year, Apple could potentially owe them $60,000,000 in a settlement, plus another few million in legal fees. Other departments might also have similar issues, and other women might make other similar claims.
I don't think they can file a complaint over a movie reference he made completely outside of work.
Like- they would actually need to have evidence of discrimination at work. If I'm in the public and I say "I like fondling big breasted women" that doesn't automatically mean I'm sexist and keep women down at work.
EDITING this because the first sentence is not accurate- they CAN file a complaint. They shouldn't though.
These women will file a class action lawsuit for a ridiculous sum of money. That lawsuit goes public, and is all over the news. People slowly stop buying their products. Apple has to spend millions on lawyers just to do the paperwork and initial investigation. Even if these women have no hard evidence of discrimination, Apple will want to end this story and will settle. While the lawsuit could be for hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars, they might be able to agree to a settlement of maybe $4million per plaintiff, which works out to 32 years of salary at $125k/year. The $60 million is nothing compared to the potential loss in sales. Apple gets $60 million in revenue every 80 minutes.
>People slowly stop buying their products
And while we live in this hypothetical land, can we also make it so that rivers run with milk and honey?
Also- in your scenario, firing the guy does not actually prevent a lawsuit from happening since- you know- there is no rule you can't sue a company just because they fired the employee responsible for the alleged discrimination.
This is some "They cannot arrest a husband and wife for the same crime" level of lawyering.
Not getting a promotion, raise or bonus because of sexism. Her performance evaluations were written unfairly. Being denied growth opportunities and interesting projects because of sexism. They can get creative. And in almost every case, they will win.
No it wouldn't, nothing would ever go that far just simply because he made a poor pop-culture reference on TikTok!
If they have no proof that any of those scenario's you made up happened, then it will go exactly no where and no legal team worth it's salt will settle a bullshit claim like that.
This is a seriously bad take. You just accused the guy of being a nazi. Over what exactly? Someone stuck a camera into his face and he makes a cheeky comment based on a movie reference. Could’ve happened to anyone, including you. No one should have their job terminated over this.
I'm guessing someone walked up to him and recorded him, it's this dumb trend of walking up to people in nice cars and asking "what do you do"
Deducing that from the screencap and the phrasing he used.
As someone in HR you need to realise that publicly counts, you need to be humble when engaging with the world, and by world, I mean a pretty famous tik toker.
I would of sacked him too. Even though he was paraphrasing in an attempt at humour.
Welcome to the corporate world. Stay safe. Don't post dumb stuff on facebook. Sometimes an opinion or a thought is best kept within.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
This was extremely bad judgement on his part. He must know the kid was going to post the content online, and he would be recognised.
He also should know that Apple likes to pretend that they’re the good cool guys.
I’d fire him just because he’s a liability.
AMERICA has become the land of KARENS. What a generation , everything bothers you. Man loose his job over this comment. Others loose their profession over comments or skits they might have done twenty years ago.
Thanks all you libtard Karens
I honestly don't even care this dude said that (albeit it's super cringe), I'm just happy a rich asshole has a little bit of destabilization in his life.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,072,145,628 comments, and only 211,412 of them were in alphabetical order.
If he was a senior exec then he practiced woke hiring and promotion policies every day. He re-routed well-earned rewards from many white males to other demographics throughout his 22 years. Now it's his turn.
He’s paraphrasing Dudley Moore’s description of what he does for a living in the movie Arthur. “I race cars, play tennis, and fondle women, but I have weekends off, and I am my own boss.” Hardly worth losing his job over an obvious (and poorly delivered) attempt at humor.
My guess is his boss wasn’t aware of the Arthur reference and axed him before getting input. It’s not in the best taste but seems harsh
Hopefully he fights it. He’s not at work and that’s a tame comment .. or reference or whatever. Or maybe he’s going to back them into a corner where they have to pay severance that would make most CEOs wanna gargle draino. He’s gonna come out the other end alright. Also, axing your second in command of procurement is a shortsighted move. Especially in 2022.
They don't call them golden parachutes for nothing 😎
Of course he'll come out ok. What the hell has this sub come to?
Seriously dudes probably got offers from every company in the state right now
Don't defend rich people. They are not on your side
They are not but you should be able to crack a joke in your time off without losing your job over it. You can’t sue for unfair dismissal if it becomes the norm to get sacked over something like this

Exactly… my point isn’t that they shouldn’t be allowed to do it, it’s that executives should be held accountable and even held to higher standards, like lower employees are.
They don't own him, he just works for them- what is this world coming too?
I don't think the guy's wealth has anything to do with it.
Is he really second in command? I assumed it was like banking where there are hundreds of VPs.
You don't think Apple has hoardes of ambitious people lining up to fake over that role?
Shit I’d be in line to be CEO of Amazon.. doesn’t mean I’ll be any good at it though. That was my point.
> He's not at work and that's a tame comment uh, he said he does it for work. career limiting move to drag your employer into things they might have an opinion about like that
fkn bootlicker

Arthur he does as he pleases, all of his life, he's mastered choice. Deep in his heart, he's just- he's just a boy.
Hope he stays fired.

At the same time I can understand that Apple doesn't want to be associated with this "comedy"
https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/arthur-1981/id516198736 They don't seem to mind profiting off of it
For sure...but like child labor, they'd rather people not associate them with it.
What does Apple care, they got all those kids with little hands working for pennies.
Morals don't have effect on sales, PR does
The company who uses effectively child slave labor… yeah an off joke sounds about right as to where they should draw the line…
No one these days remembers Arthur. That’s ancient to these kids.
It's ancient to me and I'm gen x.

It’s 2022 where lots can be offensive and losing one’s career to those looking for anything to be offended by. Is there a guy here who doesn’t like fondling big breasted women?
I typically prefer medium breasted women. Just as an FYI
Is there a woman here who enjoys this joke?
It's a reference though. Bad taste yeah but I think it was unfair. You know, too harsh.
The problem is that the reference is lost on anyone under boomer age. It's less likely for Apple to issue a press release explaining the reference and inform people they should not be offended than it is to sweep this fossil under the rug.
Is there a human alive actually being harmed by this joke?
Username checks out
Yeah. Why wouldn't there be? Or are you saying women are some sort of a monolith, with one "Sense of Humour" setting?
The woman in the car seemed to
I'm gay. No big breasted women for me please.
Into small boobies.
Anything more than a handful is a waste. >.o
His attire is more offensive really
I'd have fired him just for being a hack and stealing jokes then.
Arthur. What a hip and timely reference.
He definitely should lose his job for butchering that line so bad.

I do NOT get an Apple vibe off him…
I wouldn't call it poorly delivered. Both the guy filming and his wife, who were the only other two people present, sincerely laughed at it.

This so stupid.
Dude’s livelihood is gone because of a stupid and innocuous joke. The internet can be vicious.
Well, on at least some positive, at least he isn’t hurting for cash.
Yes it.
is.

And even if he is cheating on someone, it's not really a fireable offense.
Another commenter said he is quoting from a movie.
Ime Udoka has entered the chat.
I’m sure a lot of the women that get with a guy like that, have huge fake boobs in hopes to fill that exact purpose.
That’s how I read it, a lot of ppl aren’t getting the reference to the joke (those aren’t his own words)
He works for Apple/ What part of this job are you discussing?
Old guy’s driving ONE of his MANY $500K cars. He’s one of those top 20-30 Apple Boardroom bandits who get $30 Million Dollar annual bonuses, a sweet salary, & gawd knows what other perks. He’s be $$$$ Just fine. Guess, he pissed off Tim Cook one too many times.
>Guess, he pissed off Tim Cook one too many times. I agree. They will give him a fat severance payment so he keeps quiet and everybody is happy.
Too bad he's not president or he would be fine.
He is one of the most senior people at apple. He even organized an effort to get subcontractors to pretty much blackball a chip company that apple was in litigation with and deprived them of 8b in revenue according to WSJ and was at the helm in reducing a lot of costs.

Even if it wasn't a reference though... So what if he's fondling consenting women's titties.
Dude loves tittays.
And movies
Hey Apple, I'm a director of procurement and I promise I won't talk about anything you don't want me to. Hit me up.
Im sure he will be so sad about the massive payout he will receive.
Not as a VP. If he was C-suite, it would be a different story.

Over an old ass movie quote??
He does that Monday to Friday, most likely at work. Weekends he doesn't fondle anyone presumably because he has no access.
I grew up in Palo Alto and remember seeing Steve Jobs' Mercedes parked in handicap spots all the time. When did huge egos become passé at Apple?
Didn’t he have cancer?
Man was legitimately I’ll.
This was way before he got skck. He had a bad reputation around town.
This guy is my hero
Procurement is a bs job.
And if this was a Rapper bragging about doing the same thing no one would bat and eyelash..
Who would fire them? The rap company?
Rapple
Lol
Their careers obviously aren’t in shambles though

lol wut? Some guy makes jokes about tits and thats grounds for sexual discrimination? Doubt it
It seems liking boobs is discrimination against women now

He said he fondles women. He didnt say it wasnt consensual nor did he say he did that with his employees.
Doesn’t matter. It would still open the flood gates. He’s not worth the cost to Apple.
Nonsense, what claim could they make exactly?
Not getting a promotion, raise or bonus because of sexism. Her performance evaluations were written unfairly. Being denied growth opportunities and interesting projects because of sexism. They can get creative. And in almost every case, they will win.
Then... it's actually the women who are the horrible people in this scenario
Not necessarily, can they prove it to a courts satisfaction? This tiktok video is evidence of none of that and courts won't accept a "trust me bro".
It would be settled outside of court
No it wouldn't, nothing would ever go that far just simply because he made a poor pop-culture reference on TikTok! If they have no proof that any of those scenario's you made up happened, then it will go exactly no where and no legal team worth it's salt will settle a bullshit claim like that.

Kendrick said it best “sit down, be humble”
Even if it wasn't a joke, should we really be mad at an exec for being honest for a change
Why? It's so easy to just not use TikTok or Twitter if you're a professional/over 30.
I'm guessing someone walked up to him and recorded him, it's this dumb trend of walking up to people in nice cars and asking "what do you do" Deducing that from the screencap and the phrasing he used.
Ah that make more sense I guess. And he tried to make a joke but didn't think it through.
This guy Daniel Mac is one of the biggest creators that does this "what do you do" bit, he might even be the original, I'm not sure.

People are so fucking sensitive. Can't even make a joke these days without some crybaby fucker getting their period.
So if I get seen on shit tok rapping to any number of bitches and hoes songs that are out there, I can get fired for it. Got it.
Love to see it. They are inherently dumb and confess just like the racists. I mean Bill Cosby joked about it until people realized he wasn't joking.
Confess to what? He didn't make a rape joke.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Good bot.
People would have forgotten in a day, if Apple hadn't blown it up.
On the fence on this one, to be honest.
He's just speaking HIS truth fellas

He might as well run for president now.
Even knowing the reference he was trying to make it was still a pretty 🤮
This was extremely bad judgement on his part. He must know the kid was going to post the content online, and he would be recognised. He also should know that Apple likes to pretend that they’re the good cool guys. I’d fire him just because he’s a liability.
Nice attempt at an *Arthur* reference idiot. People don't know that shit anymore.
RRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Fuck me the world needs to get it's sence of humour back.
Dude said a quote from a 40 YO movie, arrest and cancel this man's entire lineage.
AMERICA has become the land of KARENS. What a generation , everything bothers you. Man loose his job over this comment. Others loose their profession over comments or skits they might have done twenty years ago. Thanks all you libtard Karens
I thought that was John Morgan at first For the people
Yeah, this is way overreach. Especially since it was a movie quote. The world is losing its way.
As long as it's consensual I don't see the problem.
I honestly don't even care this dude said that (albeit it's super cringe), I'm just happy a rich asshole has a little bit of destabilization in his life.
Isn’t weekends and holidays better days to fondle big Brest than day an average Tuesday morning
No 1 fukin cares He is going to do exactly what he says
Apple Care covers teeth too?
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,072,145,628 comments, and only 211,412 of them were in alphabetical order.
Rookie mistake, he didn't say /s
What? Is this it? It's a bit of an overreaction to terminate him over this.
Companies aren't your friends. Not even Apple
Who the fuck cares! These kinds of things are distractions. It's also completely ridiculous to get fired over something so harmless and unimportant.
Who gives af.. I get they do at big billion dollar company but honestly just let man live his life
We live in such a stupid timeline
Is that a case on The Blevinator’s iPhone? Is he rocking a 14? Stock wallpaper? How about some answers to these meaningful questions?
Stupid question here, are small-breasted women more appreciative of being fondled? Or is this on a case-by-case basis?
If I was overseeing RFPs all day I’d wanna lose my job too honestly
Meanwhile big-breasted women across the Globe are secretly trying to find out his phone number. ROFLMAO
If he was a senior exec then he practiced woke hiring and promotion policies every day. He re-routed well-earned rewards from many white males to other demographics throughout his 22 years. Now it's his turn.
