A former Rivian executive is suing the electric vehicle startup over gender discrimination, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Laura Schwab, Rivian’s former VP of sales and marketing, published a blog post Thursday detailing the company’s “toxic bro culture,” which she alleges led to her wrongful termination. “The bro culture affected how the most important decisions were being made at the company,” Schwab wrote in her post on Medium. “Despite my 20 years of auto experience, and my position as VP of sales and marketing, I was excluded from crucial meetings that impacted our mission and my team. Time and time again, I raised concerns regarding vehicle pricing and manufacturing deadlines, but no one listened, even though I have extensive experience launching and pricing vehicles.
