Bias and Abuse Thrive Here — Accountability Doesn’t - Anonymous employee Lawrence Berkeley Lab Employee Review

Bias and unequal treatment of marginalized employees (including women, disabled employees, and people of color) are systemic and persistent. Reports of discrimination or retaliation are routinely dismissed or deflected by HR and management. Accountability for abusive or unethical conduct is virtually nonexistent. Employees who raise concerns or seek support often face subtle retaliation or increased scrutiny. Supervision practices include manipulative behavior, double standards, and deliberately withholding resources or information needed for success. Opportunities for growth, recognition, and fair treatment are not distributed equitably.
