No surprise. When she tweeted that they wanted an extremely short notice meeting about a “serious issue,” I knew she was done. This is how most of the big companies do their firings these days.
Definitely not sympathizing with her, though. She brought this on herself, 100%. Constantly campaigning against your employer, in a very public forum to boot, is eventually going to draw their ire. She had a very generous title and salary for what looked like limited experience in the field and it seemed they were paying for her to obtain an unrelated J.D. Very generous, I’d say.
If you keep biting the hand that feeds you, eventually the hand - and the food - gets withdrawn.
A bit tangential, but I’ve never understood why people stay in jobs they can’t stand to the point where they self implode like this. I’m sure there were other teams, other roles at Apple in which she could have found herself.
She might have been looking for new job and proudly posting here social media presence. The people recruiting would have checked that and immediately went nope. You don't leave until you have next job joined up unless you really really hate it.
They have programs at Apple that allow you to work temporarily for 6 months in another department. Why wouldn't she have applied for one in the Legal department? Something weird here.
