“Based on what I experienced at the toxic W. M. Keck Observatory, this is the Mauna Kea workplace harassing procedure: 1. Hit the worker with multiple nasty surprise resignation meetings. 2. If they do not voluntary resign, make their working conditions intolerable by repeatedly changing their working conditions on a regular basis and extend their working hours. 3.
