Tesla Factory Reportedly Described As a 'Predator Zone' By Female Employees (theverge.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Tesla's Fremont factory was described by a female employee as a "predator zone" of harassment in a meeting attended by dozens of employees, according to a bombshell report in The Guardian. Other women recalled being catcalled by male employees, feeling unsafe around male managers, and being subjected to sexist comments by their superiors, the report states. For months, The Guardian has been tracking the case of AJ Vandermeyden, a former Tesla engineer who sued the electric automaker for "unwanted and pervasive harassment." In her suit, Vandermeyden alleges that she and other female employees were denied promotions, paid less than their male peers, and retaliated against after making their concerns known to human resources. Several months after making her claims publicly, Vandermeyden was fired by Tesla.

    You should see what's going on at SpaceX. Women there are forced to build products shaped like penises. Oh my!

    You know what, you're right, from now on we're assigning you to work with all males only, all the time. I'll take one for the team and work with all females, don't thank selfless old me! :)

    Yeah, screw them...

    By the way do you have a daughter, because I want to know where she works so I can tell her every day that I want to fuck her brains out...

    No daughter, that's cool, how about your sister, mom, any woman in your family. I just want to work with them and treat them like shit until they kill themselves. That is cool right?
