A judge has ruled that “there were no reasonable grounds” for Apple to fire an employee for taking secret photos of a female colleague. This is the second time in a month that a UK judge has criticized Apple’s firing choices around workplace culture.
As reported by The Telegraph, the employee was found to have secretly taken a photo of a colleague to send to a group chat and another directly to an employee who had a crush on them. Responding to the first, the employee with the crush, said “Look at bae there... so cute…working her a-- off but still looking great”. When the photo was shown to another employee, he was reported to management and both the photo's taker and the employee who shared it were fired.
