Apple Inc just fired # AppleToo campaign director Jennik Parrish (Janneke Parrish) and launched a crackdown on leaks of company information.
Parrish, the project manager of Apple Inc Maps, was fired during an internal investigation for deleting files on work equipment, a move Apple Inc classified as "non-compliant", according to people familiar with the matter. Related files include applications such as Robinhood, Pok é mon GO, and Alphabet Inc-CL C Drive.
Some employees inside Apple Inc said that Parrish's dismissal was the company's revenge for organizing the # AppleToo campaign, and they couldn't think of anything else.
This is the second time in recent months that an employee has been fired for openly talking about Apple Inc's corporate culture. In September, Apple Inc fired Ashley Gj ø vik for leaking confidential company information. Gjovik filed a number of charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) about the way Apple Inc treated her and other employees.
Mr Gjovik's latest allegation is that Tim Tim Cook's recent memo on cracking down on leaking company information may have violated US labour laws. In September, Cook sent a memo to all Apple Inc employees saying that "the person who leaked confidential information does not belong to Apple Inc." He also said the company was "doing everything it can to identify whistleblowers".
Apple Inc's recent actions seem to be aimed at cooling the activities of its employees. In August, employees spontaneously launched the # AppleToo website, allowing all employees of the company, including AppleCare and retail store employees, to submit stories about harassment and discrimination in the workplace. Parrish and Apple Inc software engineer Cher Scarlett (Cher Scarlett) then began sharing the stories on the media site Medium.
Parrish declined to comment for this article. "We can confirm that she no longer works for Apple Inc, but we are not in a position to comment further," her lawyer said. "
Scarlett, who is currently on paid sick leave, has been internally harassed while advocating telecommuting and transparent pay.
Apple Inc didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. (Chen Chen)
