Rooster Teeth workplace-culture controversy
Former employees and members of the wider Rooster Teeth community publicly criticized workplace culture, management practices, compensation, harassment handling, and the company’s treatment of staff. Rooster Teeth acknowledged serious concerns and announced organizational and policy changes. The issue concerned the parent production environment rather than a finding that the fictional RWBY brand itself had engaged in misconduct.
