SpaceX lawsuit claims repeated instances of gender discrimination and basic safeguarding failures

A lawsuit filed by a SpaceX employee paints a picture of a company that has serious gender discrimination problems.

According to her complaint, she experienced discrimination early on in her employment when she was passed up for job opportunities in favor of external male candidates. The company officials she talked to about the pay disparity couldn't justify it and allegedly offered her only $2,500 more if she also took a reduction in stock benefits. The plaintiff is asking for general, compensatory and consequential damages, including lost wages, earnings and other employee benefits.
