This is ‘my’ opinion: in regard to the photos, if Apple indeed fired them for sexual harassment or causing a toxic work environment, etcetera then I agree with the judge’s ruling. Nothing about it, based on what I read in the article, was harassment, sexual, violent, demeaning or evil. Again, this is ‘my’ opinion.
Both women and men have discreet and sometimes not so discreet discussions about colleagues they find attractive.
Now if Apple had a policy in place that specifically prohibits the photographing of colleagues without their consent on Apple Property then I wouldn’t have a problem with the firing as long as it was for that violation.
In regard to the situation in which the employee made the statement about releasing another deadly virus, that person, in my opinion, should have been fired. Again, that’s ‘my’ opinion. Yours may differ.
