Powe, meanwhile, claims that in November 2022 then-COO Klein “stormed into [his] work area, shouting with rage” and said Powe’s necklace and Rivian-issued jacket violated the company’s dress code.
Klein then allegedly grabbed Powe by the jacket and “forcefully pulled him toward the ground,” before he “proceeded to grab [Powe] by the crotch, and unzipped his pants several times.” Powe claims “several” other employees witnessed this.
