Verkada employees used surveillance system to capture and share images of female colleagues with sexual comments
A group of male employees at Verkada accessed the company's video surveillance system to capture images of female employees without their knowledge and shared them in a Slack channel with graphic sexual comments. The incident, which occurred in 2019, highlighted a frat-like culture and alleged discrimination against women and minorities. Verkada responded by taking disciplinary action against some employees, including financial penalties and termination, but critics say the response was insufficient.
