A SpaceX employee says that she spent seven years working at the company’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California enduring sexual abuse, unequal pay, discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation, in a new lawsuit against the company.

I’m not excusing Tesla, and I don’t give a shit about Tesla, but I have to say that this is basically every tech company. They are being sued like this constantly, and are usually settling out of court to avoid embarrassment.
In Vietnam it is even worse because they don’t sue the company. They just sort of deal with it, or they quit their job. In the best case they get a whole bunch of people to coordinate quitting at the same time.
