    I thought I could find one big significant example to post here, but the article is just full heinous racism and misogyny committed by Tesla employees with HR doing nothing and even making the situation worse.

    Hopefully these people get a huge payout from the lawsuit for their pain and as a way to make Tesla clean their shit up.

        I don’t even know how this many overt racists and misogynists even get hired by one company. Like did they go out of their way? Did they ask “do you hate women and black people” on the application form?

          Toxic work culture will thrive on its own if not corrected, especially when someone like Musk is the company role model.

          Toxic people will stick around, non-toxic people will quit because they’re uncomfortable.
