I think it's more concerning that it's probably just incompetence. You can fire thieves and criminals, incompetence and lack of attention to detail is cultural

That's a pretty large amount of incompetence. Not saying it isn't possible to be that incompetent, but it's a bit of a stretch.

so which "cultures" do you think this applies to? BTW this is a realy racist POV you have here.

  I'm pretty sure that the comment above was referring to corporate cultures that condone sloppy practices, and there was no racism implied.

  Any relationship to race with regards to "culture" you're reading in there strikes me as inferred, not implied. There is a pretty decent argument that American corporate culture is very happy to screw workers, defend people who screw workers, and commiserate with those who get caught screwing workers.

      You are conflating the larger definition of the term "culture" with a specific, narrower one and it's not making the point you think it's making.

        Eh, it's a Pavlovian instinct. See the word "culture" in any context, shout "Racism!" If it doesn't make sense, and people point this out, just double down and shout the same thing but louder. Yawn.

        I agree with him in many contexts that there is a profoundly racist tilt to American culture, and there is a profoundly racist tilt to "tech" culture as well. But that's not what was being referred to here, no.

  Calm down. A company - in this case, Zenefits - will have its own distinct culture. This is what's being referred to ... not "businesses overall" (although there can be a lot of similarities) ... and certainly nothing at all to do with something like societal culture, much less the culture of a specific demographic or race. Honestly, the word culture in this context has nothing to do with race.
