アップル社のスティーブ・ジョブスCEOは今朝、社員に当てたeメールで、「療養に集中(focus on my health)」ために3回目の休業(medical leave of absence)を取ることを伝えた。今朝6時頃に発信されたメッセージ全文は以下の通り。
“Team,
At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011.
I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.
Steve.”
