#AppleToo organizer Cher Scarlett published the stories on Medium Monday. There are five personal anecdotes of harassment and discrimination in the first #AppleToo digest.
"This will be the first set of stories to be shared," Scarlett wrote. "I have selected the stories based on the common threads to prove a systemic issue that needs to be addressed."
Among the stories are specific recollections of harassment incidents, as well as more systemic problems.
The Apple employee organization said earlier in August that it had collected nearly 500 instances of workplace discrimination or harassment since calling on current and former staffers to share their stories.
Scarlett, who was involved in the creation of the #AppleToo movement, recently said that she is being accused of "ruining" Apple for her work in the organization. The #AppleToo movement was formed earlier in August with the goal of exposing patterns of racism, sexism, inequality, and other abuses within the Cupertino tech giant.

Hey World, Fastasleep is a booger-eater! Let’s create a website and invite everyone with an axe to grind to post their stories there. Maybe, I’ll make a few bucks in the process.
Not to nitpick the Medium article, but that first story out of the UK made a big deal about the WebEx regarding George Floyd, but said he was shot, which was not how he died.
It’s not that I haven’t seen stuff like this before. But to have had bad experiences at work and then turn to Apple with the blame is extremely childish in my opinion. It’s probably the first time these people are outside an artificial “safe space”, where teachers and parents make sure that every child is seen and heard - but that’s how life is. The parental preferential treatment stops when you become an adult.
As I wrote: I’ve seen this before, but mostly with parents calling me, demanding preferential treatment for their now adult children. I tell them all that their children are now adults, and that as adults, they have agency and a responsibility to them selves and their own life. I suggest Apple react in the same way.
It goes without saying that all allegations concerning abuse, sexual harassment or racism should be investigated.
