Tesla's diversity panel uncovers more tales of Silicon Valley sexism
When former Tesla employee AJ Vandermeyden sued the company for ignoring complaints of discrimination and "pervasive harassment," the self-driving vehicle maker downplayed her claims. Tesla told The Guardian at the time that it believes in "fostering an inclusive workplace" and that there is "more we can do to promote diversity." The company also said that there would always be a "small number" of people who make these kinds of claims. It turns out, however, that more women have had similar experiences at Tesla, according to a new report in The Guardian. On International Women's Day, Tesla invited female staff to an essential oils "lunch and learn," but then changed the meeting to one on diversity after employees expressed some criticism.
