Why are apple employees getting subpoenaed? Is this common at Apple?
- version_five 5y agoIt's not clear if it was the employee in particular. It was a work device, so it's possible that devices from people on a team or involved in something were needed for some legal thing.
- _drimzy 5y ago+1 It must have not been the employee in particular. Big companies get sued all the time, and then all written records on work devices, for products that got sued, becomes evidence.
- irrational 5y agoMajor companies are getting sued continually. It probably isn’t an individual person, but a product that a team or department worked on that is involved in the lawsuit.
- renerthr 5y agoHow often is 'continually'? Is there any way to estimate how many times per year is each major company sued?
- throwaways885 5y agoA company like Apple probably deals with hundreds of major lawsuits per year. Must be thousands of smaller cases too.
- irrational 5y agoNot that I know of. A rough guess is they receive 3 new lawsuits daily.
