Engineering program manager Ashley Gjøvik had been raising concerns with Apple employee relations about years of experience with sexism, a hostile work atmosphere, sexual harassment, insecure working conditions, and retaliation.
Ashley said that the company has made no effort to set boundaries and as an alternate placed her on administrative leave and implied they did not want her on Slack where I had been spoken about my concerns with certain policies at the company.
That’s why Apple declares that it hates leaks
This is the second time Apple has inspected Ashley’s claims about sex discrimination at the company. Earlier the employee relations team closed an inquiry, having found nothing wrong according to Ashley who later shared screenshots to explain her concerns.
Wanted to share: #Apple employee relations confirmed this #tonepolicing is totally ok feedback for me to get from my #bigtech #male leaders & not #sexist.
As this investigation rolls on, I've decided to start Tweeting the stuff they say is "ok." I mean, they did say it was ok? pic.twitter.com/EImLTjRTBl

Today's #Apple "employee relations said this is ok" example: I led an I&D training for my #bigtech all male mgmt team and got complaints I was "too hard on the #whiteman" and told to only talk about "#equalopportunity but not #equaloutcomes." Employee relations said that's okay.

Ashley says she was also dismissed when she expressed concerns about unsafe working conditions.
#Apple employee relation's 1st #sexism investigation only arose while I was complaining about unsafe work conditions and related #intimidation. They tried to quickly brush me off & prevented me from raising more concerns. This time, I gave them 558 pieces of evidence to review.

Ashley is however on administrative leave as the company investigates the matter. No comment has been made by Apple on the matter so far.
So, following raising concerns to #Apple about #sexism, #hostileworkenvironment, & #unsafeworkconditions, I'm now on indefinite paid administrative leave per #Apple employee relations, while they investigate my concerns. This seems to include me not using Apple's internal Slack.
