Tony Blevins, Apple's vice president of procurement, was fired from the company after making crude comments in a TikTok interview. Earlier this month, Daniel Mac posted a video where he asked Blevins what he does for a living, and he replied that he plays golf and fondles big-breasted women. Major holidays and weekends are taken off.
The video doesn't identify Blevins by name and doesn't reference his position at Apple, but he does say that his job at Apple offers "a hell of a dental plan." Mac usually walks up to people in expensive cars and asks what they do for a living. Check out the interview he did with President Joe Biden in a car.
The video caused an internal investigation at Apple and resulted in the removal of the head of the team. Some employees thought the comments didn't fit with Apple's goals of increasing women's representation and empowerment The man apologized to anyone who was offended by his attempt at humor. A line from the 1981 movie Arthur was misquoted.
A person told CNBC that Tony is leaving Apple.
Apple employees are not allowed to post anything on TikTok. The engineer said that the company was threatening to fire her if she went ahead with the video. The situation isn't the same as he didn't post the video on his own, but he appeared in someone else's video. Apple told employees in an internal document that they should be respectful in their online communications.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the job of the company was to work with suppliers and partners to give the company better deals. The construction of the Apple Park building saved the company a lot of money.
