An apple employee is on the verge of being fired over a security tip video.

Apple is threatening one of its employees who posted a basic security tip video on the short video sharing platform, TikTok.

An employee named Paris Campbell, a single mother living in New York says that she was told by Apple that she breached the company’s policy by revealing herself as an Apple employee and posting about Apple.

The company’s social media policy reportedly states, “We want you to be yourself, but you should also be respectful in posts, tweets, and other online communications,” as per The Verge.

Last week, Paris posted a video on TikTok in response to another video posted by a TikTok user who claimed that her iPhone device was stolen recently and that the thief threatened to sell her personal information.

In the video, Paris is heard saying, “I can’t tell you how I know this information, but I can tell you that for the last six years, I’ve been a certified hardware engineer for a certain company that likes to talk about fruit.”

She continued, “Your phone is actually useless to them, and you’re the only person that can save them, and I suggest that you don’t.”

In another video, that Campbell posted, she explained that Apple reps reached out to her and told her that she could lose her job because of her post. She captioned the post, “hey apple, don’t fire me”

Paris told Fortune, “I’ve actually never identified myself as an Apple employee until the video.”

“Funny thing is, though, after reviewing the social media policies… nowhere does it say I can’t identify myself as an Apple employee publicly, just that I shouldn’t do so in a way that makes the company look bad," she added.
