(NEWSER) – A female engineer who said she endured sexual discrimination and harassment at Tesla is out of a job. The company has fired AJ Vandermeyden over the complaints, reports the Guardian. Tesla hired an outside attorney to investigate Vandermeyden’s accusations, per Business Insider, and concluded that she was lying and thus unfit to work at the company. Vandermeyden’s attorney, however, says the firing is blatant retaliation and plans to file a formal complaint with the state to that effect.
Vandermeyden started working at Tesla in 2013 and says she was paid less than her male counterparts and unjustly passed over for promotions. She also alleges the company tolerated catcalls and abusive language. She filed suit and went public with the allegations in an interview with the Guardian in February. More here
I hate to say this but Tesla did what they needed to do. The allegations stood unproven, in fact referred to as lies by an independent investigation by an outside company. They really had no other choice after she went public with her allegations while still employed by Tesla. On the other hand maybe Musk is anticipating the coming cutbacks when Trump starts cutting off government money and tax breaks.
I thought this story was about Hillary
Elon Musk has made a deal with Lucifer. We have to give up our Chevy VOLTs and drive TESLAs…because they generate bigger fires.
No picture of the woman. Hotness not known so lack of a picture tells me she ain’t and it’s all made up.
Besides, Tessa is a phony company making unwanted products only alive from government subsidies soon to dry up. Musk is a fraud who will soon disappear up his own asshole.
@PHenry
She’s muscular gal.

” ….Vandermeyden attorney Therese Lawless.”
A lawyer named Lawless?
She must have really low rates…..

I failed to nail down my point. Fraudsters defrauding fraudsters is enjoyable to watch. Wait until Trump defunds tantrum boy, Elon Musk.
@Ann Thracts. Pretty average looking, but
Not terrible. I don’t see her getting the 1930s cartoon version of eyes popping out of their sockets though. 👀
Liked the pic of the fraud mobile with the license plate that said Zero Emissions. I guess it runs on fairy farts.
You’re driving a coal fired car idiots. Or natural gas or, shiver me timbers, nuclear.
Pssst. They charge up your cellphone too. Shhh.
TESLA should be FIRED and forced to pay back every taxpayer dollar of gov’t subsidy that they have ever received.
The Justice Department should aggressively pursue and prosecute all those who dismissed her claim without investigation and proof.
THAT’S THE LAW
It was promulgated and legislated by the LEFT.
But you’re not supposed to use it against the LEFT.
Something about that logo….are those Fallopian Tubes?
Maybe I’ve been lucky, every engineer (100s) I’ve known has been meticulous, straight forward, pretty dull and very honest.
I’d give her the benefit of the doubt versus a law firm attorney “hired by” Tesla.
All said and done, I trust engineers much more than attorneys or those who scam government out of funds.
She is pretty homely looking, but Tesla is a company run by a libtard, so it’s ok to fire her. If she had worked for Fox, then everyone would have been fired but her.
Sorry, the ladies gave been screaming about wages, discrimination, harassment a tad too much lately. Makes me inclined to not believe her side of the story.
Actually, the “million woman march” with the pussy hats sealed the deal. They have zero credibility in my book. If they do not have video evidence and 5 witnesses I am going to assume they are lying or just whining.
America is the best nation on Earth for women so if you cry wolf you get ignored.
So, after a battery of complaints, and her resistance, she charged Tesla with discrimination? Sounds like a polarizing individual.
Am I the only one who thinks the Tesla logo looks just like the female reproductive system?
Tesla logo looks just like a thumb tack.
ZERO EMISSIONS MY BUTT !!!
Hey, I’m the only bunny around here!
Got here late, but I’m assuming this took place in California. If you utter the words “Hey Baby” to a female employee or co worker that’s sexual harassment. It’s been that way for a long time.
Is “Sit on my face” harassment?
^^^^^^^^ Yes,
But I think you can offer your face as a pillow.
Ann, bring your sister.
