"Why would Apple employees believe they should follow leaders who blatantly violate the ethics guidelines that every worker is asked to follow about offering bribes to government officials?"

As a former Apple employee, with many friends still there, I have the same question. I now work in the public sector, and we are specifically barred from accepting gifts over $50. Really unsure why we don't hold our government, specifically the people we sent to represent us, to the same policy.

@boelder @anildash I believe we do but nothing in this administration is "normal". Laws, rules, ethics are ignored.
