I'm no fan of Uber, these past few months lowered my opinion of them, and words are just words, but even still: this is a very unequivocal statement, and very difficult for someone to make so publicly, in the lime light. A good step, I think.
And, for what it's worth, the video conversation doesn't seem to bad. I think Travis has more on his mind than just the recent video, but it's safer to pin it on that one thing.
- acjohnson55 10y agoHow difficult is it, really, when billions of your own dollars are on the line? We sure do have a tendency to infantilize the infinitely privileged. Showing up to excel at a job where you have to navigate a minefield of sexual misconduct, hostile management and complicit HR is difficult. For Travis, stepping aside to let a new leader build the culture of respect and accountability that he has abysmally failed to foster would actually be difficult.
