You can't even type the word and yet you think it's fine for somebody to be called that at a workplace?

- peter422 4y agoI'm guessing you are not familiar with the case and only read the CNN coverage. Employers have responsibilities to maintain certain standards at a workplace. Tesla absolutely flaunted those standards to a ridiculous degree. The first jury on the case awarded over $100 million to the plaintiff. Go look at the evidence presented in the trial. It's not one bad word being used once.
- notch898a 4y agoI'd argue it's a first amendment violation for the state to require an employee be fired or reprimanded for saying/writing mean words; but that's not to say there wasn't more to it than that. The civil rights act itself is a slap in the face of the 10th amendment and should be repealed post haste.
- shadowgovt 4y agoWhy is $3 million in damages in this case ridiculous?

- shadowgovt 4y agoA number intended to be punitive, yes. What is your framework for believing that number to be ridiculous? Do you know how such numbers are decided?
- publicmenace 4y agoYes. Punitive damages are not appropriate to begin with in this case, and certainly not that high.
- shadowgovt 4y agoA jury decided otherwise regarding the correctness of punitive damages. Once that was decided, such damages don't scale by damage done; they scale by a figure that would inconvenience the company so as to discourage such flouting of their legally-mandated corporate responsibility in the future.
