The scandal surrounding EKWB, the embattled cooling and custom PC building company, keeps growing as multiple former employees have now accused the company of creating a hostile work environment filled with racist jokes and abusive rhetoric in its Texas-based U.S. offices. Just as bad, the employees also say that the firm failed to pay them for required overtime hours and that it damaged relationships with suppliers by repeatedly withholding payments.
Tuesday, PCGamesN reported that former EK Business Development / Product Manager Dan Henderson had accused the company of racism. Following up on PCGamesN’s report, I spoke to Henderson and four other former team members of EKCS, the company’s U.S. arm, all of whom painted a picture of a workplace as chaotic as it was toxic.
