Apple is under scrutiny after employee threatened with firing over TikTok video
Apple is under scrutiny after an employee was threatened with firing over a TikTok video. The employee, who goes by the name of @pschiller on TikTok, posted a video of herself working at an Apple Store in Australia.
In the video, she talks about how she was told by her manager that she would be fired if she didn’t take down the video.
The video has since gone viral, and many people are criticizing Apple for their treatment of employees. @pschiller has since deleted her TikTok account, but the damage has been done. This is just the latest in a string of controversies surrounding Apple and their treatment of employees.
Critics say that this incident is symptomatic of a larger problem at Apple, which is that the company values profits over people.
Apple’s history: This isn’t the first time Apple has been criticized for its treatment of employees.
Apple is under scrutiny after threatening to fire an employee over a TikTok video. The employee, who goes by the name of @applefritterz on the social media platform, posted a video criticizing the company for its poor working conditions.
In the video, @applefritterz said that Apple employees are “overworked and underpaid.” She also accused the company of not doing enough to protect its workers from the coronavirus.
@applefritterz’s video quickly went viral, and it caught the attention of Apple CEO Tim Cook. Cook reportedly called the employee into his office and threatened to fire her if she didn’t take down the video.
The employee eventually took down the video and issued an apology, but many people are still criticizing Apple for its treatment of its workers.
Reaction: Public outcry against Apple’s treatment of employees
The video, which has since gone viral, shows an iPhone being assembled in a factory in China. The employee, who filmed the video, can be heard making comments about the working conditions and pay.
Since the video was shared online, there has been a public outcry against Apple’s treatment of its employees. Many people have called for a boycott of Apple products, and the company has come under fire for its allegedly poor working conditions.
Apple has defended its actions, saying that the employee violated company policy by filming inside the factory. However, critics say that the company is trying to cover up its mistreatment of workers.
They argue that Apple should improve working conditions and pay rather than try to silence employees who speak out.
Response from Apple: Apologize and promise to do better
In the wake of public outcry, Apple has issued an apology for threatening to fire an employee over a TikTok video.
The employee, who has since been identified as Matthew Fisher-Birch, posted a video on the social media platform last week that showed him working on the new iPhone 12.
“We take great pride in the work that our teams do every day and we apologize for any misunderstanding,” an Apple spokesperson said in a statement.
“We regularly review and update our policies to ensure they’re consistent with our values.”
Fisher-Birch’s video sparked debate online about whether or not he had violated company policy. Some argue that he did not do anything wrong, while others say that he should have been more careful given the sensitive nature of his work.
Conclusion: Apple needs to improve its treatment of employees
Apple needs to improve its treatment of employees. The company has been embroiled in several lawsuits lately, and it has been shown that Apple does not always have the best interests of its employees at heart.
Apple needs to improve communication with its employees, and it needs to be more transparent about its business practices. Additionally, Apple needs to provide more support to its employees, both in terms of benefits and compensation.
Only by taking these steps will Apple be able to improve its reputation and avoid further legal action.
