Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if that particular office -- San Diego -- was that bad. It sounds like it's one local office. The real question is, did the *boss* of the San Diego office, who was apparently doing this *sugar*, get fired. Quite possibly given the amount of housecleaning done at SolarCity recently. I hope so.
Unfortunately, it looks like Katzenellenbogen, who is specifically named and accused, hasn't been fired yet. Given that this lawsuit seems to have solid documentation, I hope Tesla wakes up and fires him ASAP.
There is a recurring problem at Tesla where top execs drop the ball on communications, so I'm unfortunately not surprised that they didn't deal with the problem when they should have. It does seem like the only way to get Musk's attention is to file a lawsuit against Tesla, which is not how it should work, and the HR department is clearly terrible. Tesla needs to get their act together and start weeding out the harassers.
If Musk is paying attention, it looks like there's enough evidence here: the correct thing to do is to *immediately* fire both Katzenellenbogen and the head of the San Diego office, and send in someone with a clean record to investigate and fire anyone else who was misbehaving. Followed by rehiring the whistleblowers -- since there seem to be a dozen whistleblowers who were driven out by the criminal harassers.
These sound like *actual* whistleblowers -- the opposite of Mr. Tripp.
Let's take this over to General Discussion.
