苹果公司CEO乔布斯给苹果员工发了一封信,宣布了苹果董事会同意他因病暂离的消息。在信中乔布斯说他将继续履行 CEO 的职责,并负责公司主要战略决策,公司首席运营官 Tim Cook 将负责公司的日常业务。目前尚不知晓他此次离职时间有多长。2009 年的时候,乔布斯曾因肝脏移植离职长达六月之久。乔布斯的留言如下:

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.
在我的要求下,董事会同意我因病暂时离职,以专注自身健康。我将继续履行 CEO 职责,并负责公司的主要战略决策。

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.
我已经请求 Tim Cook 负责苹果公司的日常事务。我相信, Tim 和我们的高级管理团队能够顺利执行公司 2011 年令人激动的计划,并做出突出成绩。

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.
我深爱苹果,并希望尽快回归。与此同时,我和我的家庭对于别人对我们隐私的尊重深表感激。
