It seems like you're somewhat sympathizing with Uber HR's decisions regarding this individual on account of the "boy cried wolf" syndrome.
This seems like hardly that at all. The events at Uber read like a systemic failure to deal with problems, and an extreme indifference to sexual harassment for the benefit of retaining "good" engineers.
Fuck this mentality.
edit: Forgive me if I am misunderstanding your comments.
- harlanlewis 10y agoNot the poster, but I think he means that Uber is the very wolf we've become too desensitized to recognize. But I have not seen the endemic spiteful complaints he has. My impression is this place is full of wolves that are seldom called out.
- GauntletWizard 10y agoTo take the middle ground - I think there's been a lot of wolves crying wolf - Mostly on sheep, because that provides good cover. Sheep are afraid to cry wolf, even when being attacked, because of fear of ostracization - and unfortunately, we're very bad at telling wolves from sheep in a fight, particularly as a herd.
- shados 10y agoYes, you're misunderstanding. I was not even talking about the Uber case at all. I'm saying how everyone who works at every company says they make complains about everything and never get heard. That makes it hard to figure out which companies are ACTUALLY bad at dealing with complains BEFORE something like the Uber bullshit actually happens. It prevents us from being proactive.
