Apple’s senior engineer who was accused of “workplace bullying” was dismissed for allegedly leaking company secrets in violation of regulations

Recently, Ashley Gjøvik, Apple's senior engineering project manager, was dismissed for allegedly "violating regulations and leaking company confidential information."

Prior to his dismissal, the senior engineer Gjøvik had worked at Apple for more than 6 years.

The following is the original text posted by the Apple engineer @Ashley M. Gjøvik on social media:

“Y'all, you're gonna need to catch your breath: this is a marathon.

We're only through ~5% of the evidence I gave ER. We haven't even got to the 1st of 3 (4?) constructive terminations, let alone all the whistleblowing & safety concerns, & retaliation.

Buckle up.”

“Brace yourselves... I'd like to share with y'all an email I sent #Apple employee relations on July 16th detailing a list of my concerns & complaints (with associated Box folders & relevant evidence). #Harassment, #Discrimination, #Assault, #Retaliation, more...”
