Two weeks ago, Ashley Gjøvik filed a lawsuit against a U.S. smuggling committee, Apple, for unlawful return. He begins to talk a lot, he said, about his sexual experiences and concerns about safety at work. The company sought to have them suspended.
On Thursday, he was fired.
Gjøvik is one of two staff members he pleaded guilty against Apple last month by the US National Labor Relations Board, alleging harassment and intimidation at the company. (The agency investigates all cases and prosecutes cases that can prove it.) The complaints follow a simple explosion. Doing business at Apple, shows last month under the hashtag #AppleToo – a major coverage of the 2017 Me Too movement, which toppled strong men for a long time without being told they didn’t do well.
The workers, who said they wanted to unleash discrimination and harassment of Apple, said it had been under the radar for a long time.
In a letter explaining Gjøvik’s shooting, Apple accused the (former) technical supervisor of revealing “trade secrets,” adding that he had “failed to catch” during the “investigation.”

Gjøvik, who has accused Apple of publicly ignoring harassment by the manager, and causing him to work aggressively, said on the phone that he did not know anything about the “secret” he was revealing.
It was Apple, he said, who ignored his efforts to reconcile.
The company’s emails shared with Gizmodo indicate that Apple spoke to Gjøvik via email Thursday afternoon asking for “contact” with him “soon today.” “We want to know about the smart assets we want to discuss,” the first email he received was written.
“Happy to help!” Gjøvik responded a few minutes later, with one warning: He wants to stick to the email, “so we write everything down please.”
About an hour passed. When Apple responded, it appeared to have ignored Gjøvik’s request, as well as its zealous partnership. “Since you have decided not to participate in this discussion, we will continue with what we have, and highlight the dangers of this, we are limiting your chances of using Apple,” he replied.
Gjøvik added, “As mentioned, I am ready to participate in your research,” adding: “I have volunteered to assist via email to ensure we have a document. [record] our discussion based on all that is going on in my investigation and my complaints to the government. ”
Gjøvik added: “I would like an opportunity to address any issues. Please let me know what its issues are so that I can try it out honestly.”
Apple’s email response was over. Hours later he was fired from his job.
The last letter, which he shared with Gizmodo, did not reflect anything. It also denied the allegations and said “they have failed to work together and provided adequate and complete information on Apple’s research.”
Apple’s application was found no answer. In his words to almostHowever, the company he said it would not address whatever “Employee matters.”
Speaking on the phone, Gjøvik’s voice was broken several times. “Apple has been my favorite company since I was a child. It was [my] I dream of catching them, ”he said. “Even though I had a bad experience, I feel like I did a very good job. I feel that they have cheated me out of it. ”
Gjøvik said, however, he was not surprised. Ever since he began expressing his worries at work in March – his office has been built on training ground which requires special permits because they are already contaminated with hazardous waste — they are ready for blowback.
“I would not keep quiet or ignore. I was standing alone with my colleagues, ”Gjøvik said. “I want to expose the operational difficulties that I have identified. I want to be prepared with the staff. I want to be held accountable at the largest company in the world.”
He said his only ambition was to create a “universal environment” for Apple’s operations and operations.
