Yup, this ruling looks strange. Why Tesla has to pay because some morons were telling racist jokes? I think this guy should sue those who were offending him, no

  > Why Tesla has to pay because some morons were telling racist jokes? Because in the United States, it is the responsibility of those morons' manager to discipline them for that kind of behaviour (And the responsibility of his manager to discipline him, if he fails to do so, and so on, and so on up the chain.) If the manager had done so this would have far more likely been a $0 settlement, rather than a $137M one. The company, instead, chose to protect those racist morons, rather than protect the plaintiff. Now it's discovering why this is not a smart corporate behaviour, and why it should not repeat it in the future.

  It’s the companies responsibility to ensure their own workplace is legal to work in. If a manager insists on violating OSHA, that’s the company’s problem for not firing the manager, because it meant the company isn’t taking OSHA seriously and even if this manager is sued personally the company has no incentive to prevent future unsafe workplaces.
