SpaceX is in hot water yet again, but it has nothing to do with any high-flying missions to Mars. Buckle up, because former manager Jenna Shumway has fired off a harassment lawsuit that makes for some pretty shocking reading.
Shumway claims that not only did she earn less than her male counterparts, but she was also on the receiving end of some seriously unfriendly work vibes from one Daniel Collins. Imagine a workplace more hostile than a Martian landscape—and you’ve got the gist of it. Collins allegedly orchestrated a full-on harassment campaign and was reportedly putting the pedal to the metal to get her out the door.
This isn’t just another day at the office; it’s a long-standing issue in the tech world, where many companies are still reckoning with workplace inequities. So, as SpaceX races toward the stars, are they leaving workplace equality behind on Earth? Let’s hope this lawsuit sparks a discussion and leads to some much-needed changes in a galaxy not so far away—specifically in corporate culture.
