Apple parts ways with newly hired ex-Facebook employee after workers cite 'misogynistic' writing
CNN
Apple parted ways with a new employee this week after thousands of workers petitioned the company to investigate how it hired the man, who had previously published an autobiography they said contains misogynistic statements.
Antonio García Martínez, formerly a product manager for ad targeting at Facebook as well as the author of the 2016 autobiography "Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley," joined Apple's ads team in April, according to his LinkedIn profile. García Martínez's book chronicles his life in the San Francisco Bay Area's tech scene from 2010 to 2014. He began his career as a quantitative strategist for Goldman Sachs before leaving for Silicon Valley, where he eventually started an ad-tech startup, AdGrok, which he later sold to Twitter. He worked as a product manager at Facebook between 2011 and 2013. In addition to his book, García Martínez has written for publications including Wired.More Related News
