It seems like the startup was still pretty small, but the plaintiff was hardly the only employee there. If you're working in an environment like this, I think you have a very real responsibility to speak up. If that doesn't work you should leave. Anyone working in tech, especially in SV, has alternatives. You have a moral responsibility to squash out this kind of behavior by making it clear it's not an acceptable workplace - even (especially) if you're not the target of harassment.

- fenwick67 8y agoThe sum of the alleged behaviors here is immoral IMO. Simply watching porn is a world apart from this situation.
- jjeaff 8y agoThere are plenty of people in 2018 that consider supporting an industry rife with abuse, extortion, and even sex trafficking of vulnerable people to be immoral.
- Spooky23 8y agoNo, you don’t. Since startup executive culture (to name one, there are many others) is a friends and family business, the whistleblower employee is more likely to be branded a crazy person and blackballed.
