I cherished working for #apple. It helped me and my household to re-establish ourselves after my father’s demise. It made me a greater skilled, a greater particular person. I ended up dedicating a 3rd of my life to this superb organisation.

I used to be requested to “belief the system” and was assured of a correct investigation.
All I anticipated to listen to was a number of phrases of compassion -empathising with what I went via and a few measures to make sure that it does not occur once more
However after 2 months of supposedly “thorough” investigation the #employeerelations comes again with nothing however denial, insensitivity, counter accusations and ended up ridiculing my psychological well being and household points.
Till then I assumed that my battle was in opposition to the few gents that I accused. I wasn’t ready that I might be met with some sort of authorized deposition. It appeared just like the Worker Relations Govt was hellbent on defending the corporate and administration’s curiosity -not the worker.
I used to be bullied with statements from the ER ridiculing my psychological well being saying “If you would like Apple to acknowledge that your psychological well being challenge’s occurred due to Apple – then I am sorry. We aren’t medical specialists.”
After I requested what if my psychological well being worsens – the ER replied saying “In that case, we would wish a physician’s certificates to determine that you’re medically match to work.”
After I requested in regards to the Islamophobic feedback – the ER mentioned that none of my statements/incidents have been substantiated by different staff. That is once I understood that there was by no means an investigation, this was some main company cowl up.
Now I had a troublesome selection. Both battle in opposition to these bullies or select to deal with a household emergency. I most popular to stroll away as my household wanted me greater than my will to battle again in opposition to the company large. I resigned the very subsequent day.
