According to information signedAppleInsider, the #AppleToo movement has just claimed its first victim. Ashley Gjøvik, who had alerted public opinion about working conditions at the apple brand, indeed left the door this Friday. His management accuses him of having disclosed confidential information, recalling the extent to which the strategy of secrecy is essential to preserveupcoming keynote announcements.
The precise content of the intellectual property violated by the ex-employee was nevertheless not specified in the e-mail notifying her of her departure, which raises questions for her. The young woman believes in fact that she did not receive “real explanation“. According to Apple, however, it was because it chose not to participate in a meeting that could potentially resolve the differences of the two parties that their collaboration came to an end.
Justice in the loop?
According to his own words, before this incident Gjøvik was the victim of “retaliation and intimidation“, feeling even “betrayed” after more than six years of working for Apple. Previously with Nike and the University of Oxford, the one which nevertheless defines itself as “manager” had been placed on administrative leave at the beginning of last August, while the hashtag #AppleToo was launched about a week later.
What's more, the accused had in fact publicly revealed an internal tool supposed to remain private duringan interview with the American magazineThe Verge. In order to assert its rights, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was contacted to investigate the matter anyway. It is the equivalent of the industrial tribunal in France, with Uncle Sam's flavor of course: its budget was limited to twenty-seven million dollars in 2017,where Defense lined up seven hundred billionduring the presidency of Donald Trump afterThe Echoes.
Serious precedents
In fact, this is not the first time that this subject has been mentioned in the press. So,Cher Scarlett had also pointed out potentially reprehensible behavior of her colleagues after her retraining in “whistleblower“. For its part, Apple has still not officially reacted.
