Staff wanted him out for sexist and racist views

Fruity cargo cult Apple said Antonio García Martínez, a former Facebook product manager who joined Apple to work in its advertising business, is no longer with the company.

For those who don't know, García Martínez, who came to Silicon Valley after a stint on Wall Street, wrote the 2016 book "Chaos Monkeys" about his time in the technology industry. He joined Apple as a product engineer in Apple's advertising platform business in April, according to his LinkedIn page.

However, more than 2,000 Apple employees had signed an internal petition sent to the company's leaders with concerns about what the petition writers described as sexist and racist views in the book and whether Apple had followed its own rules in hiring García Martínez. It might be that Jobs' Mobs mob managers didn't know about the book and its contents until it was pointed out to them by their staff.

In the petition, first reported by the Verge, employees write: "We demand an investigation into how his published views on women and people of color were missed or ignored, along with a clear plan of action to prevent this from happening again."
