I read a detailed account from a non-anon former Apple employee (I can get the link to share) who was similarly sick from per the evidence strong chemical fumes they were ejecting from their factories nearby some of the employee housing. No follow up or accountability and several reasons why they were allowed to operate that way perhaps (besides other team dysfunction). Just terrible stuff like this seems to happen regardless of a biz’s rep w general population and dismissed from attention if it ever receives it

NY and Ontario landlords and I’m sure elsewhere have a high tolerance for leaving terrible mold situations in rentals, I know someone who had permanent nerve damage and a condition for life from how the black mold behind her shower that the landlord wouldn’t fix and the state wouldn’t help resolve



would love a link to read more, thanks for sharing!


I’m sorry I replied on twitter a couple months ago and they’ve deleted the posts. I followed them and could find that way maybe but don’t want to dox them now that they’ve taken it down. They couldn’t find journalist interest and I tried to refer one. I have no affiliation / authority over this second hand info of course.

To clarify, they were not a factory worker, they were corporate (not that it makes it better but it means that exposure to stuff wouldn't have been a part of their employment agreement) and the root cause was that it saved money
