The real test is how Uber specifically addresses Susan Fowler's comments. If they recognize issues, create programs, wave hands, weep openly, hire someone to yell "shame", etc. then it's all about correcting how they are perceived. It's understandable.
If they pay Susan something larger than an annual salary and request that other female employees who suffered similar mistreatment come forward for similar compensation then they're serious about resolving the issue permanently and addressing their mistakes (I'm imagining Uber running ads like a personal injury lawyer 'are you a woman, have you worked at Uber corporate, were you sexually harassed and mistreated, please call Uber for $150k or more in compensation for the wrongs you were forced to endure).
No company actively prosecutes themselves. No lawyer seeks outcomes that aren't aligned with their client's best possible outcomes. Eric Holder, despite his name recognition and alignment w/ President Obama, is not there to help women who work at or have worked at Uber. He's there to help Uber look better.

- kyle-rb 10y agoI agree with Comodo; paying off victims does not solve the problem. Clearly what needs to happen is for Uber to discipline/fire the offender or offenders. Establishing that they will follow through on complaints would (ideally) dissuade people from doing things like this in the first place, as well as assuring other victims that if they come forward, something will actually be done about the issue.
