    one of their former employees felt uncomfortable as a woman in their workplace,

    All the other stuff is 100%

    This particular one is 50/50.

    He did halt production.

    He hired a CEO to manage him.

    They did put policies in place to make sure this didn’t happen

    That’s a reasonable response. Better than I expected honestly.

    We’ll never know if the investigation was viable. They either buried that stuff so deep it couldn’t come back up, or the other employees are okay and maybe she was oversensitive. If he had a decent number of women on his productions, I might even give him the benefit of the doubt. It might be that it’s a boys club and they’re all used to toxic ribbing. We don’t know, we can’t trust the investigation as truth.

    In a vacuum, each of the individual items is just a red flag. When you put them all together, it does seem to form a pattern.

      Yeah, I don’t know either. It’s always possible that one complainer is the issue, but like you said:

      When you put them all together, it does seem to form a pattern.

        I find it likely that she felt the environment was toxic. I don’t think she was lying; she probably knew she’d be making a lot of enemies.

        Based on all the constant ribbing between the different teams on the show, I find it likely that there’s a lot of masculinity to go around.

        When you’re running a business, it’s important to prevent people from making each other uncomfortable. Everyone you hire has a different tolerance, and it’s management’s job to ensure that reasonable expectations are met and people feel safe and valued.
