I have tried to be very charitable with this series but a few things stand out to me:

1. By telling a new historical narrative of Apple’s history, she’s able to frame her own experience in a light that makes it seem far more common than others at Apple might think. She is spending way more time on Apple’s history and its leaders for a reason.

2. I doubt her experiences would come off as exceptionally chilling or frightening if she delivered her complaints without this explicit framing vehicle. I have tried to distill what happened to her by reading a half dozen articles on her experience, as well as her Twitter, and it strikes me as that of a professional activist who took this job with a predetermined objective of changing the company and fighting its culture.

3. The way that these posts keep flying to the front page before getting any real engagement makes me think there’s an astroturfing campaign by her compatriots. This doesn’t endear me to her cause.
