Now we know, if you’re applying for a position that requires extensive background checks, when they bring it up simply say, “My time in (country) may not be attainable as country records are locked during the (crisis). That small concern could have allowed for them to bring it up to a higher power in the company for clarity, before submitting your resignation. If someone advises they need a 10 year background check and some of that time is out of the country where you’ve applied, you should notify them ahead of time. I believe the best thing we can do for this is take perspective and bring this up in future interviews. If Apple couldn’t proceed with their background check because of the war in Ukraine they should have looked at creating different policies to accommodate Ukrainians, if they don’t fix the process and block every Ukrainian person because of something not in their power then yes it’s discrimination.

Companies have the chance to show they are REALLY inclusive by supporting individuals in these circumstances but instead they prefer the rainbow logo and their token multicultural pictures of employees from different ethnicities. Just recognise your privilege and have the decency to shut up if your goal is not supporting or helping Katia (or anyone else that is suffering from discrimination). What the hell is wrong with you?!?!? Where is the decency here? If you even thought negatively about Katia and thought about supporting Apple and their decisions then you are part of the problem.

Katia has had the strength to share her experience with discrimination and people comment saying she’s not showing to be a good professional or others saying “I am *insert nationality/status/whatever* and I don’t complain despite I have a similar experience” Omg the lack of empathy I see in this comment section is insane. We are already suffering a lot, losing our homes, memories, and loved ones.how come you are adding more to that? I urge Apple and other Big Techs to review their policies and make exceptions for the Ukrainian people. Sorry, we can't hire you because you are from Ukraine.

On paper Apple is 'deeply concerned about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and stand with all of the people who are suffering as a result of the violence', but in reality they refused to provide exceptions to their policies considering that major circumstance - war in Ukraine.Īnd yes, I understand the consequences of this post for me personally, being blacklisted by Apple in the future, but what about humanity? Soon thousands of Ukrainian refugees in the US will get their work permits, and what will they hear when they apply for jobs?. as if what has been happening already starting February 24th is not enough. What I felt hearing this information.emptiness.

It didn’t help that I submitted a 7-year full background check from December 2021, nor my B1/B2 US tourist visa from May 2015, which couldn't have been granted to me had I had any criminal charges at any time. And due to the war, background checks from Ukraine can't be run. I informed my current employer and submitted 2 weeks' notice.ģ days before starting the new role, I was informed that unfortunately, Apple couldn't hire me because 2 years out of the last 7 I spent in Ukraine. The recruiter mentioned that background checks can take some time, as they need to run 7 years of a criminal check, but assured me that it would not be a problem and that they wanted me to start ASAP. Wasn't hired by Apple because I am Ukrainian! Please share!Ģ weeks ago I passed the interviews and was offered a position at Apple.
