Tesla ordered to pay $137 Million to black elevator operator for N word
Judge orders Tesla to pay a black employee $137 million dollars: because a fellow BLACK employee used the N word with other black employees.
“While they all agreed that the use of the N-word was not appropriate in the workplace, they also agreed that most of the time they thought the language was used in a ‘friendly’ manner and usually by African-American colleagues.”
Diaz testified that be suffered “sleepless nights” and weight loss as he lost his appetite.
“Some days I would just sit on my stairs and cry,” he told the jury.

Time for my white coworkers to start using the word Honky in the cafeteria so I can cash in.
I'll suffer a few sleepless nights for $137 million.

I don't understand how FB has any liability. Wouldn't this be a civil suit between the two individuals? What a clown world and that payout is just absurd.

So black brahs called each other the n word and Tesla had to pick up the bill?
Is it safe to assume they agreed to pull this off together? Easy early retirement for everyone.

It’s important to understand the facts of this case. Here is what the jury heard:
Mr. Diaz never worked for Tesla. He was a contract employee who worked for Citistaff.
Mr. Diaz worked as an elevator operator at the Fremont factory for nine months, from June 2015 to March 2016.
In addition to Mr. Diaz, three other witnesses (all non-Tesla contract employees) testified at trial that they regularly heard racial slurs (including the n-word) on the Fremont factory floor. While they all agreed that the use of the n-word was not appropriate in the workplace, they also agreed that most of the time they thought the language was used in a “friendly” manner and usually by African-American colleagues. They also told the jury about racist graffiti in the bathrooms, which was removed by our janitorial staff;
There was no witness testimony or other evidence that anyone ever heard the n-word used toward Mr. Diaz.
Mr. Diaz made written complaints to his non-Tesla supervisors. Those were well-documented in the nine months he worked at our factory. But he didn’t make any complaints about the n-word until after he was not hired full-time by Tesla – and after he hired an attorney.
The three times that Mr. Diaz did complain about harassment, Tesla stepped in and made sure responsive and timely action was taken by the staffing agencies: two contractors were fired and one was suspended (who had drawn a racially offensive cartoon). Mr. Diaz himself testified that he was “very satisfied” with the results of one of the investigations, and he agreed that there was follow-up on each of his complaints.
Even though Mr. Diaz now complains about racial harassment at Fremont, at the time he said he was being harassed, he recommended to his son and daughter – while they were all living together in the same home – that they work at Tesla with him.

This was targeted harassment by multiple people including supervisors. This wasn't just a couple of black guys saying N in casual conversation.

If they didn't respect the black guy's cultural identity and stopped him from using his preferred pronoun (n word) then Tesla would have needed to pay $200MM.
