There are two comments up now, casting doubt on the motives of the person who was let go.

The big shocker here isn't Apple getting rid of someone who rocked the boat too much, that's a given in $bigcorp.

It's the allegation of Apple breaking in to someone's home & impersonating the police. Now that i find shocking.

Big if true.

It's actually quite concerning and even a little suspicious that so many defamatory comments are linking criticism of the workplace with mental illness.

That and questioning her experiences with sexism at Apple. I see people claiming to work for Apple having a go at her too, which I'm guessing are male.

If apple is actually sending people to employees homes, what's to stop them from manipulating discourse on forums such as this?

They certainly have the money and the expertise to do it. If this is at all a concern, what is this forum doing to prevent that from happening?

This was widely reported at the time. I don't know about the impersonating police, and I don't think they broke in (I guess it depends on your interpretation) but here is an article with some info... https://www.cnet.com/news/the-lost-prototype-iphone-a-year-l...

A huge thing if true, and not worth it. However it is exactly the kind of thing a person who in paranoid would believe.

What is more likely, a big company is breaking into employees home and impersonating the police, or Apple has employed somebody with an undiscovered mental illness?

There's several follow-up articles that share that they were working with the police, and the badged Apple employees were retired police officers who were sworn in during these searches.

TLDR, nothing happened because they didn't break the law
