People are quick to point the finger at Uber's management, culture, etc.
But after reading through Susan's reflections, the core problem seems to be in the HR department.
Allowing repeat offenses like Susan describes exposes Uber (as well as individual managers) to significant legal liability (in CA and NY, and possibly elsewhere).
Any qualified HR person knows and understands these liabilities and makes a very strong case to top management that proper conduct must be enforced.
Susan, you are probably entitled to legal remedies for what you went through because the offender had already been warned. The manager in question (and his manager) will also be subject to direct penalties under California law.
If you don't do it for yourself, do it for the many other women who will suffer through the same indignities and might not be as empowered as you were to take action.
