A former Apple patent attorney claims she was unlawfully fired by the Mac maker after complaining about discrimination and harassment by a male colleague with whom she was romantically involved.
Malathi Nayak for Bloomberg News:
Jayna Richardson Whitt sued Apple in California claiming the company retaliated against her after it became aware of her “domestic abuse victim status” by denying her opportunities for higher-level positions and thwarting her career growth. She’s seeking unspecified compensation for economic losses and emotional distress.
Whitt worked at Apple since 2006, during which time she says she rose to roles such as Director of IP transactions, but also faced discrimination. A White male supervisor “favored Caucasian males and subjected minorities, females, and employees with disabilities to discriminatory treatment,” she claims in the complaint filed Dec. 20 in state court in San Mateo, California.
The discrimination was evident in personnel decisions, mentoring, assignments and invitation to meetings, the patent attorney, who identified herself as single parent of Asian descent, said in her complaint.
After Whitt posted an essay in April describing retaliation and discrimination by Apple, the company launched an investigation into her conduct before terminating her employment in July.
MacDailyNews Take: If we were ice fishing with tip-ups, the amount of red flags showing would be heartening.
The case is Whitt v. Apple Inc, California Superior Court, San Mateo County. Read Jayna Whitt’s April essay, “My coworker terrorized me and said he was part of a drug ring. When I told Apple, I was punished,” here.

Nuts.
She comes off as an extorting scorned liar.
She would come off like that, given she is my sister
And if she were yours, you would have been the cause of her single parent syatus.
You are as boring as ever. You need something useful to do with your sad life.
You objectivity has been measured and found wanting. Go forth and multiply yourself, the GOP will need voters.
Oh right, like Democrat voters are soooo damn smart starting with the Brainless Biden Buffoon and Hyena Harris. That said, GOP will need voters to counter the thousands of illegals coming in daily that are bribed to vote Democrat by being taken care of with taxpayer benefits. Certainly that does not bother you, new recruits for the Blue Team, right?…
@GoeB
No illegals voted, okay maybe 5. But tens upon tens of thousand legals were prevented from voting. Let’s punish the guilty on both sides. In court, not insurrection.
Apple cynic: You lie like a rug. The ones who were denied a vote were the conservatives of Arizona; specifically in Mariposa County and a few other smaller ones.
Why are you such a propagandist for the destruction of the values and legal system that made this country great? Party politics are poison. We should have been voting all along for each INDIVIDUAL based upon their expressed beliefs; their life history; and their political writings and record. Fealty to the “party”—no matter which one, fails the citizenry…enormously.
There is a cure for Cranial Rectosis, and it’s harmless, just pull your head out of your a$$. Never mind gerrymandering, some of which was ruled against-yet allowed to proceed, never mind voter purges, never mind voter intimidation, But how about the American Indians?

“An additional problem affecting many Native Americans is homelessness or near homelessness due to extreme poverty and lack of affordable housing on many reservations. A study by the Department of Housing and Urban Development found that between 42,000 and 85,000 people in tribal areas are couch surfers, staying with friends or relatives only because they have no place of their own. This lack of permanent housing impacts the ability of these tribal members to have a permanent physical address, yet this should not impede their ability to exercise their right to vote.”
Get a clue!
Take your own advise, nut job….
pull your head out.
