I've been at a company where the CEO is the source of a toxic culture. The board will never kick them out pre IPO if the company is growing. They might go for a coup post exit though.

Old Microsoft was super aggressive and alpha. Not sure about the harassment though. It's now a calmer behemoth. If travis is the hero of Uber who employees rejoice then him stepping down would be a death blow to the Company. At this point Uber has got fuck you money to keep on burning employees. Employees have golden handcuffs that don't come off until IPO. The best people can do is not get a job at Uber. The existing employees start quitting en-masse or a major internal data leak. The revolution needs to come within Uber.

  The best people can do is actually to stop using Uber. Vote with your wallet, and go to a different service. It's what I'm doing.

    I was voting against Uber by not using it from the beginning: it seems to me unethical to dump entire taxi industry by not being profitable, but by attracting investments from VC and decreasing prices below profitability just to screw others.

      I mean Taxis themselves have been known to take people for a ride. One reason there are local government regulations is to protect people from being ripped off. Lyft it is! And if lyft is just as bad then maybe someone will start the Fair Trade Transportation App.
