  Unfortunately Glassdoor reviews were not used as evidence in any of the several lawsuits. And it is the minority that aren't engineers and managers that are being mistreated

  Ironically, if you read the details of the Fremont cases, the problem was perhaps the disinclination by managers (presumably disproportionately white) to intervene. Almost all the harassment was line-level employees harassing each other, and the vast majority were black and Latino employees harassing other particular black and Latino employees. It was widely reported that the N-word was regularly thrown around; less widely reported that in the vast majority of the cases (and for some plaintiffs, all the cases) it was other black employees saying the word, and despite the stereotype some of the targets (i.e. plaintiffs) found it harassing regardless of who was saying it. The managers should have gotten involved sooner, of course, thus the verdicts. But my impression is that the environment was perhaps better described as one of hazing, rather than one of pervasive racism (at least of the white supremacy variety) implied in the popular discourse. And before anyone starts justifying their outrage with arguments regarding historic power differentials, there are many similarities with the caste bias sometimes reported by and among Indians in IT, where non-Indian employees and managers are blind to much of it and hesitant to involve themselves when its brought to their attention. In those cases Indians are often overrepresented at the managerial and executive level. None of this excuses managers from accountability, but the prickliness of woke race ethics certainly doesn't make identifying and resolving the harassment any easier.
