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.
