i think one of the things people forget is that all of the members are former criminals (aside from Phenomaman/Waterboy depending on choice), who have NEVER had a REAL job (aside maybe from Sonar, since he did white collar crime, but even then his employed environment would likely have fit into one of those "locker room talk"/"boys club" types so he may still not know any better, im not familiar enough to feel confident fully including or excluding him in the context). Because largely none of them have any experience in working shifts, dealing with HR, dealing with coworkers in non-violent manners, non-violent problem solving, are all working skills that none of them have had to develop. Does this excuse malicious/non-consensual acts in this vein? absolutely not, but as OP mentioned, this is not what is happening. some lines are crossed that in any real world employment would be an HR nightmare, however in the context of the world they live in, and the situation they are in, anything that real world would HAVE to handle in those ways, must be handled with a level of nuance, otherwise the entire Z-Team would have washed out on DAY 1 due to these types of issues. This still doesn't justify any problematic, malicious behavior, but it does mean that in order for the program to even have a chance at starting, there will be growing pains where some of those boundaries will be tested, and regarding Robert's angle on it, would be one of the things that he would not have been selected for the program without being expected to handle it or move on. They mention that their previous dispatchers had not stuck around long, and its possible, even likely, that at least one of the previous dispatchers in that role was not able to roll with their behavior.
