Context: News broke earlier this week that Apple had hired García Martínez for an unspecified role.
Apple did not say what exactly García Martínez' position was, but sources said he was hired for a lower-level engineering role and started last week.
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."
In one passage from "Chaos Monkeys," García Martínez describes women in the Bay Area as "soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit.”
This passage was also cited online when García Martínez started writing for Wired magazine.
*Snip*
