Apple just fired a leader of the #AppleToo movement

October 16, 2021

Apple has fired Janneke Parrish, a leader of the #AppleToo movement, amid a broad crackdown on leaks and worker organizing. Parrish, a program manager on Apple Maps, was terminated for deleting files off of her work devices during an internal investigation — an action Apple categorized as “non-compliance,” according to people familiar with the situation. Gjøvik has filed multiple charges with the NLRB related to how Apple treated her and the broader workforce. In September, the CEO sent a note to all Apple employees saying that “people who leak confidential information do not belong” at Apple. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Verge.
