I'll be real with you. I worked at Uber for a while. I never noticed any sexual harassment while I was there, but what I did notice was that the company culture was quite excellent until the number of employees got up to 1000 or so. It wasn't until there were many layers of management that things got shitty. I left once the culture no longer felt friendly. I haven't spoken to Travis in quite a few years now, but I find it very hard to believe he is responsible. Shitty, evil, manages are great at being two-faced. When their boss is around they act one way, but you better watch out when no one is looking.

No. There is simply no excuse for this kind of abusive environment to exist at your company. If you are CEO, you are responsible: - Kalanick doesn't interact with every employee every day like the olden days, but he certainly hired the people who do (directly or indirectly). - Greenshift is a real problem, but it's not like the management chain is the only way a CEO can find out about problems. And nobody's saying that Kalanick is telling his execs that it's OK to harass employees. In my mind, he is responsible and culpable even if he simply turns a blind eye when harassment happens.
