To illustrate their point, the letter - which was first reported on by tech news site The Verge on Wednesday after it accumulated more than 2,000 employees’ signatures - included excerpts from his writing. The employees argued, in a letter viewed by CNN Business, that the passages are in direct opposition to Apple’s commitment to inclusion. By Tuesday evening, some Apple employees began circulating an internal “letter of concern,” citing several of García Martínez’s passages in “Chaos Monkeys” as problematic. On Monday, Business Insider noted García Martínez’s new position, citing his LinkedIn profile. In addition to his book, García Martínez has written for publications including Wired. He worked as a product manager at Facebook between 20. 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. García Martínez’s book chronicles his life in the San Francisco Bay Area’s tech scene from 2010 to 2014.

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.Īntonio 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.
