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.

"Several months after making her claims publicly, Vandermeyden was fired by Tesla."
Oh the evil misogynist corporation trying to silence the victim?
No
She was fired because 'a neutral, third-party expert' ... concluded her complaints were unmerited.

Sigh. I hate it when I have to do this.
I celebrate the contribution women made to the war effort, but it is a downright lie to say they "by and large ran the massive industrial development necessary during WWII when the US was putting out a ship a day."

Women, at their peak, during the war, comprised 37% of the workforce. Which is awesome- and a *massive* increase from before the war. And they did it for less money. But don't rewrite history to make it prettier than it was.

If you are criminally harassed, record and call the cops.

Since it's a civil case, not a criminal one, I'm sure you meant "lawyers" instead of "cops".

So yeah, that's what's happening, but you seem cross about it.
