The Toxic Culture at Tesla
The Toxic Culture at Tesla
The factory floors at America’s top seller of electric vehicles are rife with racial harassment, sexual abuse, and injuries on the job.
This article shares some employees' experiences of racism, sexism, and other forms of abuse at Tesla factories.
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.
You weren't kidding. It went on and on, dozens of cases across multiple plants.
The fish rots from the head down, and that head is Elon Musk.
Would unionizing help?
Multiple failed attempts did not
Well the attempts at unionization failed. But a union would likely help.
In my previous job, when the leadership imposed a culture change we weren't happy with, a bunch of people just quit. We were replaced by new employees that are completely fine with it, but we moved to other companies where we feel more at ease, so it was a win-win.
The safety part of the article is also nuts. Tesla employees get no training before starting their factory floor jobs?
Never mind never buying a Tesla, I'm never getting into one now!
I loved the bit about them avoiding painting dangerous areas in yellow because Musk apparently doesnt like the color. He definitely loves the color red, that’s for sure.
I'm saddened, but unfortunately not surprised by this article.
