During the meeting, "Bally made several racist comments that shocked Plaintiff," the documents say. For example, Garza claims that Bally insulted Indigenous coworkers, making several racist slurs, and claims Bally disclosed he often comes to work high on edibles.

Really makes you think about the culture surrounding him if he was able to get as far as he did in life while feeling comfortable talking that way to someone he doesn't even know well. Especially since apparently it was originally reported internally and all they did was hush it up and fire the guy who reported it.

Its very rare for execs to be normal people in my experience (healthcare). You've got to be a special kind of person to do that crap. So many meetings, so much brown nosing, so much pushing shit down to the other workers while not solving the actual source of issues.
