Ashley Gjovik requested paid leave after requesting a severance package

After seeing Ashley's viral tweet yesterday claiming she was suspended and fired in retaliation, I read through her entire Twitter feed and found she is misrepresenting what occurred and libeling Apple.I am not an Apple employee, nor an Apple fanboy.I stand strongly with Frances Haugen, Ifeoma Ozoma, Timnit Gebru, Cher Scarlett, and other whistleblowers against the evil corporate tech...

Because talking about yourself in the third person isn't intentionally misleading people into thinking it's someone supporting you, as opposed to you supporting yourself?

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

It's so hard to take her seriously. She's now saying she was suspended, which isn't true. She is on the record and quoted as saying she requested paid admin leave when they wouldn't give her a paid exit and offered medical leave instead. She tweeted about an unreleased product, and then acts like she somehow has no idea what IP leak they are talking about.

If she would lie about these things, how are we to believe anything else she says?
