> bathroom grafiti, which most of us developed thick skin against by our late teens
You'd expect to see this at a public toilet, etched into school furniture, or at the urinal at a dive bar, but this has a totally different vibe in a workplace where everyone is being paid to be there, and colleagues need to trust each other. The 137 million payout does seem extreme, but it's probably just adequate to incentivize a company with the turnover of Tesla to improve its policies (and outcomes).
I am not black but if I go to the office bathroom and it has a racist graffiti there I am at HR right after washing my hands. Who wants to work at a place where that is tolerated?
Isn’t that a task for office cleaning services? If HR can’t install cameras in a bathroom stall, or remove the stall door, how are they going to police graffiti at all? The reason kids do it there is because they can get away with it. HR could send out a strongly worded email, but I don’t see any real action beyond upping bathroom cleaning checks.
