Tim Cook Thanks Apple Employees for Outstanding 2012 with Extended Thanksgiving Vacation Time
Just as he did last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook has sent an email to company employees thanking them for a successful year and letting them know that they will be receiving the entire week of Thanksgiving in the United States off in order to spend more time with their families. The extra holiday days of November 19-21 are being given with pay. 9to5Mac has the full letter.

Team,
Apple is having another incredibly successful year, thanks to all of the hard work by you and your teams. Your focus and dedication to making the best products on earth is what makes Apple such an incredible place.
In a little over six months we've launched outstanding new products in each of our major categories, starting with the new iPad this spring. The response was incredible, and continued to show Apple's unrivaled leadership in this post-PC era. Over the summer we introduced the radically thin and light 15? MacBook Pro with Retina display, and shipped Mountain Lion, the fastest-selling update to OS X ever. Today, iPhone 5 is taking the world by storm. And in the next few weeks we'll ship the new iPod touch and completely redesigned iPod nano with innovative designs that our customers are going to love this holiday season.
To recognize the efforts that made this amazing year possible, I'm happy to announce that we're extending the Thanksgiving holiday once again this year. We will shut down with pay on November 19, 20 and 21 so our teams can spend the whole week with their loved ones.
Retail and some other teams will need to work that week so we can continue to serve our customers, but please check with your manager about taking time off at a later date. Our international teams will also get an extra three days off during this quarter, scheduled at a time that's best for them. Details will be available on AppleWeb.
Thank you for everything you do for Apple and please enjoy this much deserved break.
As with last year's vacation time, retail store employees will need to stagger their extra days off in order to keep stores open for the public, and international corporate employees will receive their time off at times convenient for them, as they do not necessarily need to coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.
Actually, this was in Job's 5 year plan for Apple that he left.
Stop with the five year plan It doesn't exist. Why would a company plan a five year plan? So much changes in five years in the technology world. If they were following a five year plan, products would be so outdated

That explains why the iPhone 5 looks outdated tbh.
That's dumb. A sane business man wouldn't because the market does change. Stop reading mess online and formulating thoughts in your head.
girl, if you're a sane businessman you would know that technology will change and as the years go by, there will be more hi tech stuff, i think they've already forecasted that. and i didnt even read about the "5 year plan" that Steve made. i'm a business student and we've already tackled about this in production mgt and logistics. creating a 5 year plan for your business is mandatory because you need to have plan for the future of your business

It's a ROUGH plan. I'm sure Apple has a plan for their devices in the future but Steve doesn't know the future + neither does any other company. You can't forecast what high technology is going to come soon. What if a random startup comes and revolutionizes the whole game randomly? You can't forecast that.

Kind of like the iPhone has been for the past 3 years?
Anyway, how about giving the people in Foxconn time off, they're the people who actually do the work

Uh, Steve developed the iPad for a long ass time. Then, no companies ever had "tablets" and Steve basically added a whole new category for competitions. We can't just assume that his plan he left for Apple is all about the iPhone.

A year of plan doesn't even turn out as it's supposed to be more so with 5 years. You can't plan 5 years especially if you're in the tech world more so 10.

I am a management graduate and everything is planned on a yearly basis. You can't plan 5 years ahead. That's too much.. You need to make revisions and additions to your plan every now and then. One year would be the ideal time frame for plans. 2 years is too much already.
