कंपनी

ॲपलची ही भूमिका चुकीची आहे

लोड होत आहे...

ॲपल ही आजवरच्या महान कंपन्यांपैकी एक आहे आणि अगदी बारीकसारीक तपशिलांकडेही काटेकोर लक्ष देण्यासाठी तिने नावलौकिक कमावला आहे. दुर्दैवाने, निष्काळजीपणे आणि आक्रमकपणे दाखल केलेला हा विचित्ररीत्या वैयक्तिक स्वरूपाचा खटला त्या नावलौकिकाला साजेसा नाही.

ॲपलने दावा केला होता की त्यांनी फेब्रुवारीमध्ये OpenAI शी संपर्क साधला, पण आम्ही प्रतिसाद दिला नाही. आम्ही ही बाब त्यांच्या निदर्शनास आणून दिल्यानंतरच त्यांनी आता मान्य केले आहे की त्यांच्या बाह्य वकिलांनी दोन आशियाई आडनावांचा गोंधळ करून चुकीच्या व्यक्तीला ईमेल केला होता. ॲपलने असाही दावा केला होता की त्यांनी आमच्या मुख्य कायदेशीर सल्लागाराशी चर्चा केली; मात्र अशी चर्चा कधी झालीच नाही, हे त्यांनी आता मान्य केले आहे. पण त्या वेळी त्यांनी या खटल्यातील ठरावीक आरोप कधीच मांडले नव्हते आणि उलट ते “सर्व समस्यांचे निराकरण करत आहेत” असे आम्हाला सांगितले होते, ही वस्तुस्थिती ते पुन्हा लपवत आहेत. त्यानंतर त्यांनी खटला दाखल करेपर्यंत पुढील पाच महिने आम्हाला त्यांच्याकडून काहीही कळले नाही. आपल्या अलीकडील न्यायालयीन निवेदनात ॲपलने या घटनाक्रमाला सोयीस्कर वळण देण्याचा आटोकाट प्रयत्न केला आहे, पण तुम्ही स्वतः ईमेल येथे वाचू शकता.

कंपनी सोडल्यानंतर चांग लिऊने ॲपलची गोपनीय माहिती पाहिल्याचा आरोप ॲपलने केला आहे. मात्र ही माहिती शोधण्यात मदत करण्यासाठी ॲपलच्या कर्मचाऱ्यांनीच त्याच्याशी संपर्क साधला होता, हे त्यांनी आताच मान्य केले आहे. तुम्ही ते संदेश येथे वाचू शकता. ॲपल आता दोष “शिल्लक राहिलेल्या प्रवेशावर” ढकलण्याचा प्रयत्न करत आहे. पण कर्मचारी कंपनी सोडताना त्यांच्या प्रणालीतील प्रवेशाचे योग्य व्यवस्थापन न केल्यामुळे ॲपलमध्ये ही समस्या नेहमीच उद्भवते, हेही ते उघड करत नाहीत. प्रत्यक्षात याचा अर्थ असा की कंपनी सोडताना योग्य ते करण्याचा प्रयत्न करणाऱ्या माजी कर्मचाऱ्यांनाही ॲपलच्या फायलींचा प्रवेश कायम राहतो, जरी त्यांना तो नको असला किंवा त्याची जाणीवही नसली तरी.

तांग तानने ॲपलची व्यावसायिक गुपिते मिळवण्याचा आणि वापरण्याचा प्रयत्न केल्याचाही आरोप ॲपलने केला आहे. मात्र इतर कंपन्यांची कोणतीही गोपनीय माहिती आपल्याला नको आहे आणि आपण ती वापरता कामा नये, हे तांगने संघाला नेहमीच स्पष्टपणे सांगितले आहे. तांगने ॲपलमध्ये 24 वर्षांहून अधिक काळ काम केले आणि कंपनीतील सर्वाधिक नावीन्यपूर्ण नेतृत्व करणाऱ्यांपैकी एक म्हणून त्याची सर्वत्र ओळख होती.

खटला दाखल करण्यापूर्वी ॲपलने हे मुद्दे आमच्यासमोर मांडले असते, तर बरे झाले असते. आम्हाला त्यांच्यासोबत या सर्व बाबी स्पष्ट करण्यात आनंद झाला असता. आम्ही खटल्यातील आरोप गांभीर्याने घेतले असून, हे प्रकरण सोडवण्यासाठी ॲपलसोबत काम करण्याची तयारी दर्शवली आहे. पण त्याऐवजी ते इतर माजी कर्मचाऱ्यांवरही संदिग्ध आरोप करून आपली कहाणी बदलण्याचा प्रयत्न करत आहेत आणि बहुधा हीच युक्ती वारंवार वापरत राहतील.

ॲपलची प्राथमिक मनाई आदेशाची मागणी खोट्या माहितीवर आधारित तर आहेच, शिवाय ती पूर्णपणे अनावश्यकही आहे. कारण त्यांची कोणतीही व्यावसायिक गुपिते आमच्याकडे नाहीत आणि ती आम्हाला नकोही आहेत. आम्हाला तंत्रज्ञानाच्या सीमा पुढे नेणारी नावीन्यपूर्ण उत्पादने आणि तंत्रज्ञाने विकसित करण्यात अधिक रस आहे.

संदेश

चांग लिऊ आणि ॲपलच्या कर्मचाऱ्यांमधील आयमेसेज संवादात चांगचे संदेश निळ्या रंगात आहेत. ॲपलमधील त्याचा शेवटचा दिवस 22 जानेवारी 2026 होता. त्याचे माजी सहकारी ॲपलमधील त्यांच्या कामासाठी आवश्यक फायली आणि माहिती शोधण्यात त्याची मदत मागत आहेत. सर्व वेळा UTC प्रमाणे आहेत. टीप: इतर व्यक्तींची नावे आणि ॲपलची गोपनीय माहिती झाकण्यात आली आहे.

Hey [Apple Employee #1], i had something we need to discuss when you get to office.
1/22/2026 4:43:41 PM
OK. I can talk on the phone now if you like.
1/22/2026 5:48:02 PM
I am here at the office.
1/22/2026 9:39:14 PM
Around your desk
1/22/2026 9:39:34 PM
Be there in 4.
1/22/2026 9:44:34 PM
Do you wanna meet me at the coffee machine?
1/22/2026 11:25:45 PM
I found a 64GB drive. Do you think that will work>
1/22/2026 11:26:59 PM
I think 200 ish. We start from 64. Better than nothing
1/23/2026 12:41:56 AM

1/23/2026 5:13:02 PM
Good morning. I hope you slept well. Maybe you are still sleeping 😊 I’m back in the office and restarting the airdrop as it didn’t work. My plan is to complete the airdrop and then click the sad button in workday.

Thanks a lot [Apple Employee #1]. Was a very hard night last night. I really appreciate all the help and work together with you.
1/23/2026 5:41:09 PM
If you have time you can also try to airdrop all other file in my apple iCloud folder.
1/23/2026 5:42:22 PM
Those are mainly shared files from other people. I found important detail notes from time to time.
1/23/2026 5:42:59 PM
All the file folders [Redacted - Apple Information] are the file I generated as my personal note.
1/23/2026 7:32:19 PM
Your file transfer is a challenge.
1/23/2026 7:33:24 PM
Carlos Org Travel Summary Chang joined the spreadsheet. I think I’m going to have to hit the workday button before I’m complete. I just got a weird message that is making me nervous (see below), so I am going to go hit the workday button now.
1/23/2026 7:34:53 PM
I don’t even think I have that file
1/23/2026 7:35:03 PM
Maybe the new Chang
1/23/2026 7:35:20 PM
Yeah. . . it could be. No need for you to worry. 😊
1/23/2026 7:35:37 PM
That new Chang has big shoes to fill.
1/23/2026 7:36:18 PM
😟 for the transfer. I think the archive and [Redacted - Apple Information] has most of file for you to dig. Otherwise team can always start from something brand new
1/27/2026 1:45:26 AM
Hey [Apple Employee #1] hope everything is fine for copy pasting. You can keep my icloud connected if you still need more time. But might want to sign off my iMessage. As there might be my new company stuff showing up in that laptop.
1/27/2026 3:06:56 AM
Oh shoot. Sorry. Let me finish up tomorrow and log everything out. I won’t look at anything else.
1/27/2026 3:08:26 AM
Hey [Apple Employee #1], that’s totally ok. I am fine with you keep my icloud signed in for files. Just imessages might get you in trouble.
1/27/2026 4:35:30 AM
Do you recall any discussions on shipping [Redacted - Apple Information]? I thought the plan was to go for [Redacted - Apple Information] because [Redacted - Apple Information] is still not proven, but I don’t remember specific details. Of course, I could ask several folks, but you are the best. Even if you don’t work here anymore 😟
1/27/2026 4:35:46 AM
. . . of course [Redacted - Apple Information] is the plan for [Redacted - Apple Information]
1/27/2026 4:39:27 AM
Hahahah no prob
1/27/2026 4:39:47 AM
The decision is for all the product shipped in [Redacted - Apple Information] from a schedule standpoint.
1/27/2026 4:39:59 AM
Hence [Redacted - Apple Information]. And [Redacted - Apple Information] for [Redacted - Apple Information]
1/27/2026 4:40:30 AM
[Redacted - Apple Information] make a [Redacted - Apple Information] because of that [Redacted - Apple Information] ramp time.
1/27/2026 4:41:06 AM
[Redacted - Apple Information] (es in March) will [Redacted - Apple Information] prototype build but too late for [Redacted - Apple Information].
1/27/2026 4:42:29 AM
Awesome: I was thinking [Redacted - Apple Information] for [Redacted - Apple Information] and [Redacted - Apple Information] for [Redacted - Apple Information]. But since [Redacted - Apple Information] was pushed back then it should get [Redacted - Apple Information] also.
1/27/2026 4:42:41 AM
I think we are aligned 😊
1/27/2026 4:46:06 AM
Actually yes also [Redacted - Apple Information]
1/27/2026 4:46:27 AM
Sorry I missed that. [Apple Employee #8 name] from Austin team is already working on that

Hey [Apple Employee #1]! Hope you got all the material you need. Otherwise you might need to reach out to IST for some backup if they ever has
1/30/2026 5:54:41 PM
I rrealize the folder is gone from my iCloud
1/31/2026 1:34:07 AM
I just signed out of your iCloud account. When it asked me if I wanted to keep a copy of your stuff, I said NO.
1/31/2026 2:28:08 AM

Thank you sir!
1/31/2026 2:29:23 AM
This startup style company is a funny and will be very hard in a couple months😁😁
2/14/2026 1:38:13 AM
How is it going over there? Did they let you off work early on a Friday so you can go bowling and drink beer?
2/14/2026 1:38:25 AM
. . . . or are they going to work you until 10pm?
2/14/2026 1:39:47 AM
Just in case you don’t have enough work, I need some help. I have a vague recollection of you talking about a [Redacted - Apple Information]. Can you give me a brief refresh of this and point me to an EE who may have some knowledge?
2/14/2026 1:41:25 AM

2/14/2026 1:42:21 AM
I can always give you some fun side projects
2/14/2026 1:44:17 AM
I think what you referred to is [Redacted - Apple Information]. And the small [Redacted - Apple Information].
2/14/2026 1:44:41 AM
The problem is the people is also in my court now 😁😁
2/14/2026 1:45:00 AM
Plus if [Apple Employee #9] might still remember anything
2/14/2026 1:47:39 AM
Liked “I can always give you some fun side projects”
2/14/2026 1:52:30 AM
[Redacted - Apple schematic] Bummer. . . you should have filed a [Redacted - Apple Information] with the details and put that next to the [Redacted - Apple Information] on the schematic. Now you owe me a beer.
2/14/2026 1:53:43 AM
oops now it can only become a [Redacted - Apple Information] saying now we never know why 😁😁
2/14/2026 3:12:57 AM
Now when I think about it. The other smart people also just left that team. The one that might still in apple is [Apple Employee #10]
2/14/2026 3:13:12 AM
Or if you have a more specific question
3/5/2026 9:23:11 PM
chang: if I understood correctly, you said that the [REDACTED - Apple Information] powers a downstream [REDACTED - Apple Information] that then powers [REDACTED - Apple Information]. Is that right? Who should I contact about that [REDACTED - Apple Information]?
3/5/2026 9:35:19 PM
A few things you can look for. In our team box folder/[REDACTED - Apple Information]/. There should be a [REDACTED - Apple Information]. And there is a power block diagram to show the [REDACTED - Apple Information]. Or find [Apple Employee #5] to get the [REDACTED - Apple Information]. Contact is [Apple Employee #6]and [Apple Employee #7]. [REDACTED - Apple Information] need more sensitive for [REDACTED - Apple Information] than current design. Hence they need to rise [REDACTED - Apple Information]
3/5/2026 9:35:59 PM
Hi [Apple Employee #1 Name], [Apple Employee #3 Name], I can help get the conversation with [Apple Employee #6] and [Apple Employee #7] started
3/5/2026 9:37:28 PM
Hi, this is highly irregular, please remove me from this thread
3/5/2026 9:44:21 PM

ईमेल पत्रव्यवहार

पुढील ईमेल ॲपलचे बाह्य कायदेशीर सल्लागार गॅब्रिएल ग्रॉस, OpenAI चे मुख्य कायदेशीर सल्लागार चे चांग आणि ॲपलचे अंतर्गत कायदेशीर सल्लागार यांच्यातील आहेत. यांतून दिसते की ग्रॉस यांनी चुकून चेला ईमेल केला आणि त्या दोघांमध्ये बोलणे झाल्याचा चुकीचा दावा केला. त्यानंतर ग्रॉस आणि ॲपलच्या अंतर्गत कायदेशीर सल्लागारांनी ही चूक असल्याची पुष्टी केली. ग्रॉस यांनी ते “सर्व समस्यांचे निराकरण करत आहेत” असे नमूद केले. ॲपलच्या खटल्यातील ठरावीक दावे कधीच मांडले गेले नाहीत आणि पाच महिन्यांनंतर खटला दाखल होईपर्यंत पुढील कोणताही पाठपुरावा झाला नाही.

Hi [Apple in-house legal counsel] and [Apple in-house legal counsel],

This guy from Weil claims to be representing you. For some reason, he is lying about speaking with me on the phone. I don't know who he is and we have never spoken.

I don't know what the point of his lie is, but could you please confirm if he is actually representing you, and if so, whether you have other counsel you can use. I don’t think interacting through him is appropriate given this behavior.

If this isn’t the right Apple team, could you let me know who might be? Thank you.

Dear Mr. Chang:

I write to follow up on my email and letter from yesterday. After I emailed you around 5:53 p.m. yesterday, I inadvertently also sent you another email around 6:07 p.m. that was intended for <redacted> Wang, one of the former Apple employees at issue. After we had emailed Mr. Wang yesterday about retaining Apple information, he promptly called me and offered to cooperate with Apple in resolving any issues. I then intended to email him again, but accidentally replied to my email chain with you instead. I apologize for the confusion that likely caused.
