Just look at this woman’s Twitter history and judge for yourself. She needs psychiatric help . Apple or the “leadership” is not the problem here. Try to find one thing in her life she doesn’t have an issue with. Case closed.

Also, I looked at the woman linkedn, the fact she has been promoted as much as she has in the last 6 years is what needs investigation quite frankly. 

And she is also studying in law school , which I bet Apple is paying for.

the fact Apple hasn’t fired this type of employee actually speaks volumes how Apple is bending over backwards for her and it’s that type of bending over that has fostered this type of employee.

This maybe a sign of a pervasive sexist environment at Apple that she rsised because she’s more aware of her rights.   Maybe Apple she take a good hard look at their culture and make some changes before it manifests itself to a “Cuomo” size problem.

She sounds like trouble. I had a coworker who was always looking for trouble. She would flirt trying to look for a reaction so she can claim that someone was hitting on her and contact HR. 

From armchair layers and now shrinks this site attracts a bunch of weirdos. Given we don’t know all the facts about the case maybe we should get back to speculating on what the next Apple Watch will look like. It is for her, Apple and at some point probably, the courts.

I hope for her sake, she's got better evidence of sexism and harassment than a supervisor giving her constructive criticism on giving presentations.  It's annoying as hell to listen to someone end every sentence with their voice going up and sounding like a series of questions.  That's a valid critique.  You can do that every once in a while but not constantly.  And it has nothing to do with being a woman.  It's public speaking 101.

There's definitely some real and serious cases of this-ism and that-ism, abuse, etc. but I feel that these "movements" create their own momentum and incidents that are otherwise harmless are posiioned as fitting into the definition of a movement.

This example:

Gjovik in a tweet on Aug. 2 shared a screenshot of a Messages conversation that allegedly illustrates the type of sex discrimination she faces. In the discussion, a male higher-up provides feedback on a recent presentation, saying that Gjovik "did great" by refraining from raising her voice at the end of sentences. Managers noted the inflection made statements sound like questions. 

What if it was a female higher-up? Would it still be interpreted as sex discrimination? Could this possibly just be another "person" saying something about her presentation style? But since it's a guy, there must be something sex-related about it?

Should there be an intervention into how this higher-up behaved or commented less that professionally? Sure! But let's not automatically classify it as sex discrimination simply because the genders are different!

I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, so I'll just stop here and listen.
