OT but I've been wondering about this. I work in South Africa and have done so for some really big corporates as well as small boutique companies. Without fail, every HR department has been the one department where you will find the majority of staff are women. I don't know if this is the same everywhere else in the world, but it strikes me as particularly insidious in this Uber case where, in an obviously apparent misogynistic culture, a female employee is having to report these issues to a female HR rep who in turn is being forced to toe whatever dubious, unwritten company line Uber works under. I mean this passage here... " She then asked me if women engineers at Uber were friends and talked a lot, and then asked me how often we communicated, what we talked about, what email addresses we used to communicate, which chat rooms we frequented, etc." ...made my skin crawl. I just think HR in general is an extremely subversive environment.
