If Uber had implemented a good system of control, we wouldn't be talking about this in the first place. The question is what do we do when there isn't a good system.
Yes, there is risk to speaking out. It wouldn't be brave to do so if there were no risk. I do think it takes people who are already in a relative position of power to minorities and women in tech–which includes men at the same level—saying that this will not stand, in order for real change to come about.

In a situation like this -- where managers seem to operate without fear of reporting or push back from underlings -- there likely is a lot of control in place already. > Yes, there is risk to speaking out. It wouldn't be brave to do so if there were no risk. The same could be said of the victims themselves and highlights the problem with this attitude: betting on bravery is long odds. If workers are highly dependent on managers' approval -- not of their work, but of their opinions, character, manner -- then they will learn to keep their heads down and go along to get along. It's too late when something like this happens.
