    A fish rots from the head. Corporate culture all flows from the CEO and board. If a bigoted piece of shit is in charge, this is what you get. Because the top of the company sets and enforces policy. So if they don’t care about bigotry or if they are bigoted themselves, they won’t set or enforce policies to stop it. They will hire bigoted management. Those bigots won’t stop it and probably encourage it. They hire bigoted workers who will persecute others and face no consequences. Those who anti-bigots can report but will be ignored or face retaliation.

    The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Tesla yesterday, alleging that the electric carmaker violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by subjecting Black employees at its manufacturing facilities in Fremont, California, “to severe or pervasive racial harassment and created and maintained a hostile work environment because of their race.”

    The agency alleged that throughout the period since 2015, "Black employees also encountered displays of racist graffiti, including swastikas, threats, and nooses.

    Black employees have described the prevalence of racist imagery as ‘frequent,’ ‘constant,’ ‘a regular thing,’ and occurring ‘too many times to count.’"

    Describing retaliation, the US agency alleged that "Tesla has fired Black employees within weeks of them reporting or opposing racial harassment.

    After Black employees complained about racism, “Tesla’s supervisors and human resources officials retaliated against them through schedule changes, less desirable duties, reassignments, unjustified write-ups, and discharge,” the US agency said.

    In June 2022, the EEOC issued a Letter of Determination to Tesla stating that it found “reasonable cause to believe” that Tesla had been violating the Civil Rights Act since May 29, 2015, “by subjecting Black employees who worked at its Fremont, California, facilities to a hostile work environment and by retaliating against Black employees who engaged in protected activity,” according to the lawsuit.

      I find your response to be a bit of a jump to the conclusion you want to be true.

      Maybe it is made up, is there a lack of evidence? Could you provide more information as to why it appears to be made up?

    Sounds like a complete BS. Basically what haters want to hear.

    Bad working conditions ect. would be believable, but this is just too sensationalist to take at the face value

      To anyone thinking of reporting this comment, he’s already been banned. I’m leaving the comment up because I think it’s a good example of the community rallying to push back on a racist idiot. 😄
