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.

""We are profoundly distraught by what this hire means for Apple's commitment to its inclusion goals, as well as its real and immediate impact on those working near Mr. García Martínez. It calls into question parts of our system of inclusion at Apple, including hiring panels, background checks, and our process to ensure our existing culture of inclusion is strong enough to withstand individuals who don't share our inclusive values," read the letter.
