This was a criminal prosecution, so the execs will end up with a criminal record if they don't win their appeal though they won't go to jail. No need to say that with a criminal conviction in France, unless you have friends in high places, your management career is over.
They didn't design these disruptive policies, they obeyed the higher up exec in San Fransisco. Is it really worth risking a criminal record that won't go away for Uber ? I don't know... I hope Uber will reward them for their "loyalty" .
- athrun 10y agoI don't see why their management career would be over. Especially if they are looking at management opportunities at US companies operating in France. This is an industry I know well and certainly some of the FR country managers of US tech companies have shady pasts. In a sales-driven organisation this is usually seen positively as some sort of war wound (ie: this is a man ready to do what's necessary).
- stale2002 10y agoLol, are joking? All the managers would have to do is explain the situation of why they have a "criminal record". These aren't low level cogs at the company. No employer who is looking to hire one of these people would bat an eye at the "criminal record".
- dnate 10y agocompletely agree. I don't know why you are being downvoted
- legulere 10y agoJust because you follow orders from higher up doesn't mean that you are exempt from the law or don't need to do your own moral judgements.
