San Francisco, May 13 (EFE) .- Apple cut relations with one of its executives for advertising technology, Antonio García Martínez, following comments considered sexist that he included in a book published in 2016, as confirmed by the company on Thursday.
The Cupertino (California, USA) company did not specify whether García was fired or voluntarily left the firm, but merely confirmed that the executive – hired just a few weeks ago – no longer works for them.
“At Apple we have always strived to create an inclusive and inclusive workplace where everyone is respected and accepted. Behaviors that demean or discriminate against people because of who they are have no place here,” the company said in a statement.
García Martínez, born in the US to Cuban parents and with dual US and Spanish nationality, is the author of a book published in 2016 in which he recounts his experience working for Facebook, one of his previous employers.
In it, she dedicates a few sentences to expounding her impressions of the majority of the women in the San Francisco Bay area, whom she describes as “lazy and weak, spoiled and naive despite the fact that they boast of being cosmopolitan, and generally loaded. of nonsense “.
After selecting this and various other excerpts from his book, more than 2,000 Apple employees signed a petition asking the company to review Garcia’s hiring, as it “cast doubt on the company’s culture of inclusion.” EFE
