An Apple employee who was placed on leave in early August after tweeting about sexism at the company has shared further allegations of bullying and mismanagement.
Senior engineering program manager Ashley Gjøvik has added to earlier public claims of "sexism, a hostile work environment, sexual harassment, unsafe working conditions, and retaliation."
Gjøvik's comments coincide with a rise in Apple's employees speaking out publicly about their dissatisfaction with working conditions at the notoriously secretive tech firm.
On Monday night, Gjøvik tweeted she had only shared "~5%" of the evidence of misconduct she had submitted to Apple's employee relations department, including allegations of assault, sexual discrimination, and retaliation.
In a series of tweets, she claimed senior employees kept a whiteboard tally of votes on how they could make her "life a living hell", that she was regularly excluded from important emails, and that some were known to peer-pressure other employees into drinking alcohol during working hours.
Gjøvik also claimed an unnamed senior employee yelled at her in public and private, called her an "idiot", and "locked me in a conf room alone & screamed at me while I cried, & kept threatening to smack me."
