I'm reticent about sharing thoughts on sexual harassment in the workplace, given the emotionally charged nature of the issue. I've seen men get away with completely inappropriate behavior toward women at work, and I've also seen women make absolutely false claims against male coworkers and get rewarded with unearned benefits. I see how hard it can be for a neutral third party to judge the difference when all there is to go on is he-said-she-said.
In this case however, the accuser claims to have verifiable evidence that her direct supervisor propositioned her for sex and then punished her for declining. And not only did Uber not remove him for it, it covered for him. If her accusation is true, and it probably is if Uber isn't denying it at this point, then Uber is causing incredible self-inflicted damage by allowing some employees bully over 1/7 of its technical/product workforce with impunity. Uber has taken over 8 billion dollars from investors. To those investors, how much has Uber represented that 1/7 of its workforce is worth?
Yeah, not surprising they're getting some famous names to help explain this.
