The accounts reportedly describe incidents of "racism, sexism, discrimination, retaliation, bullying, sexual and other forms of harassment, and sexual assault" involving Apple workers.

Apple workers organizing under the "Apple Too" banner said they received "hundreds of stories of racism, sexism, discrimination, retaliation, bullying, sexual and other forms of harassment, and sexual assault that happened at the hands of a colleague off of campus"  in just four days.

 The group debuted on Aug.  23 with a Twitter account and website asking other Apple employees to "connect with us to share your own experience, stay informed, or unite in solidarity with other current or former Apple workers" so they could "collaborate to iterate a healthier workplace"


In addition to those private communications, Apple Too's call on Apple employees to share their stories has prompted several public discussions about incidents involving the company, some of which the group has shared via its Twitter account to increase their visibility.

Apple Too has faced some obstacles, too, including the claim that it was "shadow-banned" by Twitter. (Which means that its tweets would have been difficult or impossible to find even though it wasn't notified of any disciplinary action by the company.) But that problem has been resolved

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
