(To be clear, I still think management there should be held responsible for turning a bling eye on this stuff. It's never excusable and it's the perception of being unaccountable that keeps this stuff happening again and again.)
- wpietri 10y agoSure, lawyers will always counsel you not to. It's their job to minimize risk. But if you are getting advice from a lawyer, it's your job to decide when to listen to it. In particular, taking responsibility for a problem requires things like admitting it and apologizing. Especially so when it's a big company culture problem. If Kalanick has put short-term Uber cash flow above solving his company's culture problems, then it's a sign they are going to remain the same bro-y toxic cesspit.
