It was covered in the tech and mainstream press, yes. Did any of that coverage indicate that it was so shockingly offensive nobody should ever hire him, as these employees claim to find obvious?

No, admittedly Apple needed to a little more background research to know in advance that if he joined them then they would be successfully sued by the first female report he had a problem with.
Examples of the background research they could have done:
1. talk to any of the employees who organized the petition
2. read his book! It's widely available! This is a guy whose hiring was literally a positive news story yesterday https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-hires-chaos-monkeys-au.... When you hire people who are going to be news you do a little background. It's a short book! Apple screwed up!

Or just Google him and read the first few sentences and top comments from years ago on his Reddit AMA…

The petition just implied someone should have read the book before Apple offered him a job.[1]
