the British "Financial Times" reported that 15 Apple employees said the company's corporate culture was inconsistent with the image it presented, saying that Apple cultivated a kind of indifference to reports of employee misconduct culture and actively retaliate against employees who complain about coworkers, including those who report incidents of sexual assault.

　　They allegedly lodged complaints with Apple's human resources about sexual abuse, bullying and other incidents, but were ultimately treated coldly, with several claiming retaliation.

　　Former employee Meghan Moore complained that a colleague took off her underwear while she was sleeping and took pictures of her after a platonic night out. However, an Apple HR representative called the experience "a small accident."

　　"While his actions as a person are reprehensible and potentially criminal, as an Apple employee, he did not violate any policies in his work at Apple," Apple Human Resources said in an email. "Because he No policy has been violated and we will not prevent him from seeking employment that matches his goals and interests."

　　An Apple Store employee complained that she had been subjected to two serious sexual assaults, including a sexual assault, and said HR treated her not as a victim but as a problem. "I was told [the alleged rapist] went on a six-month 'professional experience' and they said: 'Maybe you'll be better when he comes back?'" She asked for a transfer, but was turned down , so in the end she still failed to escape that Apple Store.

　　Intellectual property lawyer Margaret Anderson calls Apple a "toxic work environment" and a "gas stove" and says a male VP wants to fire her, citing false allegations before she came to Apple . HR allegedly ignored a document she provided refuting the allegations.

　　In addition, Apple employees are complaining about Apple's suppression of employee organizations and blocking channels that employees use to complain about unequal pay at the top and pay.

　　Software engineer Cher Scarlett said executives retaliated after she lodged a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Apple offered her $213,000 in severance pay, but she refused to sign it because Apple asked her to hand over a letter to the NLRB that included the names of other employees.

That's "their playbook" to give me "enough money" to pay my attorney fees and debt, and they want that list of people to get revenge on. I really can't think of how to express how excessive this is?

　　Later, Apple rescinded the request, and she accepted the deal, then withdrew the NLRB complaint. However, when Apple sent a letter to the SEC saying it "supports the right of its employees and contractors to speak freely," she knowingly violated the agreement. Scarlett's revelations led eight U.S. state treasurers to ask the SEC to investigate "whether Apple misled the committee and investors."

　　The most high-profile complaint came from Jayne Whitt, head of Apple's legal department, who told HR that a colleague had hacked her device and threatened her life and hoped they would take it seriously. However, the staff investigation department said Whit "failed to act in a professional and appropriate manner" during the meeting, when Whit "represented that she was seeking help and experiencing trauma," the Financial Times wrote.

　　She then posted a 2,800-word article on whistleblower platform The Lioness describing the situation, sparking a flood of support from Apple employees. However, Apple then fired her, citing what she said was an "irrelevant" indiscretion six years ago.

　　Whit, who is now facing off against Apple, said Slack's situation about the gender pay gap opened her eyes.

　　"I was at a disadvantage -- that's how women struggle," she said. "If these stories (on Slack) hadn't come to light, I wouldn't have been forced to do the right thing and ruin my career."

　　Apple told the FT in a statement that it was working to investigate such allegations of misconduct and was working to create "an environment where employees feel comfortable reporting any concerns".

　　"There are issues that don't reflect our intent or our policies, and we should have handled them differently, including certain exchanges reported in this story. As a result, we will be changing our training and processes." Respect for personal privacy," Apple would not comment on specific cases.
