SAN FRANCISCO: Apple has reportedly fired a leader of the #AppleToo movement at the workplace, who deleted apps from her work devices during an internal investigation.

According to The Verge, the action against Janneke Parrish, a programme manager on Apple Maps, was terminated for "non-compliance".

The files she deleted from her work devices included apps like Robinhood, Pokemon GO and Google Drive.

"Internally, some employees expressed disbelief that Parrish's firing could be anything other than retaliation for organising," the report said on Friday.

Parrish's attorney was quoted as saying that "we can confirm she is no longer with Apple but cannot speak further to address the situation at this time". Apple did not comment on the report.

It's the second time in recent months that an Apple employee has been terminated after speaking out about company culture.

In September, Apple fired senior engineering programme Manager, Ashley Gjovik for allegedly leaking confidential information.

In August, Gjovik who tweeted about sexism and unsafe working conditions at the office said she was asked by the company to go on indefinite administrative leave.

According to Gjovik, the Apple employee relations team had placed her on indefinite paid leave after she raised concerns about a hostile workplace. (IANS)
