After a day-in-the-life TikTok video got viral, an Apple employee was fired or unexpectedly discovered her contract was not renewed.
Nylah Boones Day, a Black girl working in a tech video, didn''t reveal any secrets goings-on within the company, but provided video inside her office at Apple, as shown below.
Boone told The Verge that she was only attempting to show other women of color that a similar career might be an option for them, thereby aiding Apple in achieving a more recognizable workforce.
The tech girlie genre of content may be beneficial to women, people of color, and other traditionally underrepresented people in the entertainment sector who want to get a job.
According to Boone, my followers or comments were similar to 80 percent Black women. I wanted to be able to connect with other Black women as well as to encourage them. You may work in this industry or employment in this role []
In May, Boone unexpectedly lost her job at Apple when her contract was not renewed. She also made videos about that, as well as a trio of recordings that she lost her job.
We have a black girl who is working in technology, so we''re back to work, too! #blackwomenintech #blackgirltiktok #dayinthelife #workingintech #backtooffice

Employees of Apple are usually prohibited from sharing information from inside the company''s offices, either through employment contracts or separate NDAs.
It''s just one example of what is turning into an increasing problem as more of the TikTok generation has jobs at technology companies.
Despite spooky timelines around filming at work, technology firms are less-prepared to navigate the influencer-slash-corporate employee. Corporations, however, are typically required to avoid advertising too much or revealing things they may not wish the whole world to see.
Like me and my tech creators friends, we all have been flagged before at [our] company to be like, Hey, please do that, according to Chloe Shih, a YouTuber with over 51,000 followers. Shih, a leader in freedom, states that creators must balance crafting their own brand and free expression with demands from their employees that limit what can be shared, either through explicit policies or implicit worries.
Along with concerns about the possibility of deliberately or inadvertently revealing pre-launch work on unannounced products, organizations are also concerned about the possibility of revealing security checkpoints, badge formats, and other features.
As The Verges Mia Sato parodies, some designers are especially attentive in their works, but that can also mean that it is no longer a real day-in-the-life video.
Start the day with a free lunch and a latte. Immediately leave the office while strolling around the spacious, light-filled space, visiting the nap room or theHarry Potter-themed meeting space. Finish up work. At 5PM.
TikTok credited Apple''s vice president for procurement with jokingly responding to a creators on-camera question with a quote from a movie. The quote contained bold remarks, and Apple was not aware of the joke.
