The prominent advertising-technology engineer let go by Apple Inc. this week amid an uproar over sexist passages in his memoir fired back at the tech giant, calling the company’s statements around his dismissal “defamatory and categorically false.”with Antonio García Martínez, who had been hired about a month ago to work on ad platforms. His departure followed complaints by some workers at Apple about sexist and misogynistic passages in a memoir Mr.

“At Apple, we have always strived to create an inclusive, welcoming workplace where everyone is respected and accepted. Behavior that demeans or discriminates against people for who they are has no place here,” the iPhone maker said. Mr. García Martínez, however, disputed Apple’s version of events. “I did not ‘part ways’ with Apple. I was fired by Apple in a snap decision,” he wrote on his verified Twitter account Friday. “Apple has issued a statement that clearly implies there was some negative behavior by me during my time at Apple. That is defamatory and categorically false.”

In one passage of his book, “Chaos Monkeys,” which was marketed as nonfiction, Mr. García Martínez wrote: “Most women in the Bay Area are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit.”

I am playing my tiny violin for him.

There should be zero focus paid to him and all of it on Apple. Whether you are offended by his book or not, the idea that in 2021 Apple got this very senior person through an intense process fully aware of this likely outcome is bananaland
