Re: Apple fires leader of AppleToo movement
#2I’m curious how Pokémon Go and her (presumably personal) Robinhood account were pertinent to whatever investigation they were conducting. Regardless, I find it hard to believe she “deleted” anything. Removed it from the phone, perhaps, but I’m willing to bet Apple is more than capable of accessing whatever investigative information they need on the phones they provide to their employees.

#3Not a good look for Apple.
I understand Apple wanting to maintain their culture of secrecy about their products but their PR and HR people should know that the culture certainly does not have to extend to internal personnel issues.
Why should we trust them when they do stuff like this? Even if she was acting improperly w.r.t. company proprietary information I'd have thought that competent PR folk would know to never fire someone in a position like this because there's no way the company can look good in the aftermath.

The apps are immaterial, she deleted things off her phone during an investigation. The reporting here is to make you think Apple is crazy for doing so, "Apple fired her for deleting a kids game app? What a bunch of weirdos."

#5Obvious retaliation on apple’s part. Unfortunately that’s employment at will. Unions might be an answer but that’s a whole set of trade offs.

Her work phone is pertinent to the investigation, and I'm more curious how she thought it was a good idea to have her personal Pokémon Go and Robinhood accounts on her work phone.
Edit: Incoming downvotes but this will stand — a work phone is not your phone! You should not be trusting it as such, and should not expect personal privacy on it (and the ability to delete things from an investigation). She worked at a tech company that made phones; there's no plea to ignorance here.

It's not immaterial, and apple is crazy for firing her for deleting Pokemon go, if that is the actual reason and she didn't delete any actual data.

That's just there for the sympathetic headlines — she deleted Google Drive as well, and we can all easily imagine what that suggests.
I think a good rule as an employee is "if instructed to hand over your phone as part of an investigation, don't delete stuff before doing so."

#9How many people are involved in this AppleToo thing? It's hard for me to get a handle on just how significant any of this is in the scope of the whole corporation. I clicked through a few links in the article and see various numbers, 15 people, 200 people, 500 'instances'.

I don’t have a reference, but I believe Apple actually promotes using the same phone for work and personal.
Seems pretty useful when you want to fire someone on a technicality /s.
