An employee named Paris Campbell comes out of her silence and talks about a possible unfair dismissal.
Paris-Campbell she worked for Apple as a hardware engineer for 6 years until she was recently fired. Now he has broken his silence to make sure it was wrongful dismissal.
Lately, he posted videos on TikTok updating the situation and, as DailyDot reports, that doesn’t leave Apple in great shape.
The former Apple employee had publicly asked Apple not to fire her for one of her TikTok videos. And now he explains that the dismissal, in reality, was caused by contracting COVID for an extended period.
The controversy of an alleged unfair dismissal
During the summer of 2022, Paris Campbell responded to a TikTok video in which a user explained that his iPhone had been stolen. In her response, she explained that she was an Apple employee and tried to help the user. Since then, she began to think the company wanted to fire her for violating Apple’s social media policy, even though she only shared public information.
Now Paris Campbell has been fired, supposedly, due to sick leave. She says this was the main reason she was investigated for the TikTok video.
“Throughout this year I have been on sick leave for people who have had COVID. I was eventually fired for this leave.”
After contracting the disease three times in a row, Apple asked its employees to return to the office. But she extended his sick leave since Apple extended sick days.
“It made everything worse, I got sicker and Apple told me to keep taking sick leave, that’s what it was for, and they hoped I would feel better.”
Shortly after, he received a call detailing that was under investigation for a TikTok video. The company sent several letters to his old apartment where he no longer lived to ask him for documents justifying his work stoppage. Unable to respond to the email, he received an email informing him of his dismissal.
“And the next day I tested positive again.”
Paris-Campbell believes that Apple’s dismissal is unfair and plans to take legal action against the company.
This is not the first time that we have witnessed a controversy of this kind, at the end of September 2022 we learned that Apple had dismissed a frame for a TiKTok video in which he used somewhat inappropriate terms.
