I'm glad to hear this has gotten the CEOs attention. I read her account and was absolutely horrified at how she, and other women, we're (are?) treated at Uber. Livid is more like it. I'm also disappointed in the men who work there, some of whom worked with her, but who apparently didn't behave like honorable human beings and demand the behavior stop. Granted, I'm assuming other men knew of this behavior, but I don't think that is likely to be much of a stretch. We all have a responsibility to look out for each other, no matter our gender. So yeah, Uber screwed up massively, and made me and my wife rethink ever using their services again, but I'm also disappointed in their whole workforce for not rooting out this behavior organically. "But I needed a job," isn't a good excuse, when the fundamental value we should all hold is decency. If you run across this shit in your own organizations make sure you speak up. Keep records. Make sure they know that retaliation will be handled with legal representation and with outreach to the state Department of Labor. Will there sometimes be negative repercussions for you personally? Yes. Will you sleep better at night? Yes. Will things improve in the aggregate over time? Yes, if enough of us simply refuse to stay quiet when we see and hear this kind of thing.

We have heard a story given by one person, uncorroborated by others, and without any of the supposed abundant evidence. It may well be a true account, but it is premature and wrong to assume it is true right now.
- MrQuincle 10y agoThe CEO should have access to the mentioned metrics. + average stay of an employee + percentage female employees over time It's not so hard to assume something is wrong in HR or company culture if these figures show anomalies. I think if Uber was more data minded about their own progress and efficiency, the board would have catched it even if they are in some kind of ivory tower.
