Employees knew the technology was faulty from "summary" of Bad Blood by JOHN. CARREYROU
Throughout the course of events detailed in "Bad Blood," it becomes clear that employees within Theranos were well aware of the inherent flaws in the technology being touted by the company. Despite the outward image projected by founder Elizabeth Holmes and other top executives, those working within the company knew that the technology was far from reliable. From early on in the company's history, there were whispers among employees about the inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the blood testing technology. However, these concerns were often brushed aside or outright ignored by leadership, who were focused on pushing forward with the narrative of Theranos as a groundbreaking and revolutionary company. As time went on and more employees were exposed to the inner workings of the technology, the realization that it was faulty became more widespread. Employees within the company's labs and research departments were particularly attuned to the issues, as they grappled with the day-to-day challenges of trying to make the technology work as intended. Despite their reservations, many employees felt pressured to keep quiet about the technology's flaws, either out of fear of retribution or a sense of loyalty to the company. This culture of secrecy and fear of speaking out only served to perpetuate the myth of Theranos as a successful and game-changing company, even as the cracks in the facade continued to grow.- The fact that employees knew the technology was faulty raises questions about the ethics and accountability within Theranos. It highlights the dangers of a corporate culture that prioritizes image and profit over transparency and integrity. The consequences of this knowledge – or lack thereof – would have far-reaching implications for both the company and the individuals involved.
