So far, we've received nearly 500 responses, and hundreds of stories of racism, sexism, discrimination, retaliation, bullying, sexual and other forms of harassment, and sexual assault that happened at the hands of a colleague off of campus. The main thread? Being ignored by HR.

When Silicon Valley employee activism arose, Apple wasn't part of it. But since 2019, 6% of Apple employees have joined its corporate Slack channels. That tiny crack in the spaceship of silence was all it took... https://www.theinformation.com/ ... @MarkDiStef @waynema

“Slack will replace email” turned out not to be true. “Slack will allow your employees to organize against management and/or snipe at each other” is a less attractive but more accurate pitch. https://twitter.com/...

As a worker, there are two things you should know: HR is not on your side. Collective action is good. https://www.protocol.com/...

“One Apple employee who spoke to The Verge said an Apple director discouraged employees from taking the survey” Who was the director? “director” is a relatively senior position at Apple but doesn't have much weight to influence policy like this. https://www.theverge.com/...

Lots of people inside Apple are furious that someone would share workplace issues publicly, and they're taking it out on the one woman who has become the public face of #AppleToo. https://www.protocol.com/...

@Gartenberg The issue is systemic abuse by Apple management over years and a complicit HR department and she's produced the evidence to prove it.

3. Everything now feels like a game-can't even give honest feedback anymore about things that aren't working. Can't question anything management says.
