It is an unfortunate reality that hostile, damaging work
environments still exist in the Canadian business landscape, not to
mention elsewhere in the world. However, when large companies are
accused of facilitating sexual harassment in their workplaces, it
calls to attention just how much work remains to be done to right
these wrongs. Calgary residents may already have heard of one such
prominent case, involving tech giant Tesla.
The company is already in the media spotlight as it prepares to
launch its latest electric car, the product for which the company
is best known. But founder Elon Musk has not commented publicly on
allegations that were brought forward at a company town hall held
on International Women's Day. Several women spoke out about the
inappropriate treatment they had endured, they said, for years at
Tesla's offices and factory locations.
