- An ex-TikTok worker claims the company hid the involvement of ByteDance, Fortune reported.
- Evan Turner said he had check-ins with a ByteDance exec in Beijing and never met his American boss.
- The claims come as TikTok fights legislation forcing a sale of the Chinese-owned app.
A former TikTok employee said the company tried to hide the involvement of Chinese owner ByteDance in his work by assigning him to a manager in Seattle, whom he never met.
Evan Turner, a former senior data scientist, told Fortune he was being managed by a Beijing-based ByteDance executive when he joined the company.
