Apple locations feminine engineering program supervisor on administrative go away after tweeting about sexism within the workplace

Apple has positioned senior engineering program supervisor Ashley Gjøvik on indefinite administrative go away after she tweeted about sexism within the workplace. The firm is at the moment investigating claims Gjøvik made a few hostile work atmosphere.

“For months, I have been raising concerns with Apple employee relations about years of experiences with sexism, a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, unsafe working conditions, and retaliation,” Gjøvik says in an interview with The Verge. “I asked them to mitigate the hostile work environment while they investigate, and they initially offered me EAP therapy and medical leave. I told them that made no sense, and said they should talk to my leadership and set up oversight and boundaries. I added that if there was no other option they could give me paid administrative leave. They apparently made no effort to set boundaries and instead said they were placing me on administrative leave and implied they did not want me on Slack where I had been vocal about my concerns with certain policies at the company. They also implied they didn’t want me to meet one-on-one with other women at the company about their concerns with Apple policies, which I had been doing.”

This afternoon, Gjøvik set an out of workplace message informing colleagues that the worker relations crew had positioned her on indefinite paid go away.
