Employees faced intimidation from "summary" of Bad Blood by JOHN. CARREYROU
The atmosphere at Theranos was tense. Employees feared speaking out or questioning the company's practices. If someone did, they risked being berated by Holmes in front of their colleagues. She had a habit of belittling people and making them feel small. Those who dared to voice their concerns were often met with hostility and aggression. Holmes had a way of instilling fear in her employees. She expected perfection and did not tolerate any form of failure. This created a culture of intimidation where employees felt pressured to meet unrealistic expectations. They were constantly on edge, afraid of making a mistake or falling short of Holmes' standards. The fear of retaliation kept many employees silent. They knew that speaking up could lead to being ostracized or even fired. This fear was not unfounded, as Holmes had a reputation for getting rid of anyone who questioned her authority. She held all the power at Theranos, and employees had no choice but to comply with her demands. As the pressure mounted, some employees began to crack. They worked long hours under immense stress, trying to keep up with Holmes' impossible demands. The toxic work environment took a toll on their mental health, leaving many feeling anxious and exhausted.- A few brave employees eventually spoke out against Holmes and Theranos. They risked their careers to expose the truth and hold the company accountable for its fraudulent practices. Their courage ultimately led to the downfall of Theranos and brought justice to those who had been wronged.
