On April 22, Bloomberg reported that Apple’s newly appointed CEO, John Ternus, is set to assume his role amid a daunting challenge: an unprecedentedly high rate of employee turnover. For Ternus, retaining top talent has become a paramount priority. Earlier, Johnny Srouji, who leads Apple’s chip division, considered stepping down due to work-related fatigue. However, Tim Cook managed to retain him by offering a lucrative compensation package and promoting him to Chief Hardware Officer. Srouji’s promotion has not only unified the engineering architecture but is also expected to streamline decision-making processes. Nevertheless, his markedly different leadership style compared to Ternus’s could present challenges for the newly assembled team. Moreover, several senior Apple executives have been with the company for nearly four decades, with many now contemplating retirement. Ternus faces the crucial task of identifying suitable successors. Meanwhile, competitors such as OpenAI are aggressively recruiting talent, further weakening Apple’s hardware team.
