"I leave Apple" : a former employee tells his reasons for his leaving

In his blog, Ben Farrell, now former Apple employee, explains why he decided to leave the american giant. Between bullying and harassment, the australian wants to explain what is really going on at Apple.
Ben Farrell loves Apple. For nearly two years, the australian has provided assistance and technical support to customers on the side of Sidney but also to Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California, before slamming the door there was a few days, disgusted.
His resignation, he owe a man : Steve Jobs. It's indeed a sentence of former big boss of Apple he had made during his famous speech at Stanford in 2005 ("Do not be trapped by dogma which is living in obedience to the thoughts of others") that allowed Ben Farrell to regain his freedom, he claimed to have lost by working at Apple. Victim of harassment on the part of its leadership, based in Singapore, he says he discovered a culture "toxic" and "disgusting" at the american giant. In his post, he describes a passive aggressive climate based on intimidation and manipulation where teamwork is nonexistent. Ben Farrell also explains how Apple deals with "no respect" events such as illness, marriage or a family emergency, based on his history. Indeed, we learn that during his two years at Apple, our former employee missed a business trip to the hospital after his wife was pregnant, because of a fall down the stairs . An absence not really on taste that Apple noted a "performance issue" in the Ben Farrell folder. Shortly before his resignation, he explains that he had a brief hospitalization during which he will be asked to make an emergency statement from his hospital bed. Another example is the morning of his wedding when he says he was harassed by email and phone for another person had lost file. A practice that was nothing to tell because they received aggressive messages every hour and coarse voice messages in case of late for a meeting.  
Ben Farrell also mentioned working conditions with days of sixteen hours when the meetings are linked. Later in the story, he tells meetings at midnight on instant messaging platforms in which he was not authorized to speak but just had to follow a script with predefined answers that were provided. A situation which eventually exasperate this former police developed to alert his superiors. A decision that didn't really help, since a "respected leader" would have replied that he had no complaints and would do better to put "his big boy clothes" under penalty of having a "conversation very different" if he continued to complain.

Ben Farrell's story to elicit many reactions on his blog, it must say that this kind of approach is rare in the middle. If he received many messages of support, others were surprised by the approach of this australian explaining that there was nothing surprising in Apple's attitude that could be described as "normal".
Note that this is not the first time that Apple is the target of this kind of ticket. In 2014, Don Melton (former director of Internet technologies) and Nitin Ganatra (former director of the iOS engineering) had also denounced the working conditions at Apple.
