Complaints after complaints: Apple boss warns leaker

Apple clearly wants to take action against information leaks through which the insiders penetrate the outside. Apple CEO Tim Cook has now said in an internal memo that every effort will be made to identify the leakers at their own level. Anyone who shares information with the outside world has no business at Apple — the company does not immediately tolerate disclosure of confidential information about products or meetings, according to a leaked letter.

Tim Cook Leek-Frust

While there, Cook shows himself in it. From ledge published memorandum Disappointed that “most of the details” of the iPhone 13 event had already been revealed to the media. He heard that many employees were “disappointed” by this.

Cook’s letter follows the Apple event and its subsequent internal, company-wide event in which Tim Cook answered questions from employees and addressed the group’s coronavirus testing strategy, among other things. The topics discussed there were also communicated directly to the outside world.

employees complain

In the past few weeks, there has also been criticism for the first time of employees complaining about internal complaints like workplace harassment and the group’s culture of privacy – with that, everything can be swept under the carpet. An Apple employee who turned to the US Labor Protection Agency with her complaints has already been fired – apparently in a reference to betrayal.

Activist shareholders are currently using a shareholder motion to force Apple to adjust its nondisclosure agreement so that employees can at least draw attention to the problems — without fear of their jobs. Otherwise shareholders would be deprived of insight into the workplace culture at Apple, so shareholders — it’s a business risk.
