Apple On Johnson Departure Good Luck With That

You can almost taste the sarcasm in the press statement from Apple:

JCPenny also released a statement with some interesting information:

As JCP is up 12% on the hiring news, Johnson just made $6M on his first day.  Not bad, but he’s still just went from the second biggest company in the world where he’d pull in double digit million dollar bonuses to a $7B company that sells unremarkable clothes.
