After they were reported to HR, the incidents were minimised, perpetrators were given a slap on the wrist, and victims were told to sort it out amongst themselves.One woman said staff are now afraid to go to HR, as they felt they would be “gaslit”.So it turns out Team17 is run by someone worth hundreds of millions of dollars while some of their staff can’t afford three meals a day.
