I think it's pretty obvious
> For example, one person anonymously tipped off board member Arianna Huffington — who is one of the people conducting a wider-ranging investigation into sexism and sexual harassment at the company — via an email that Baker had engaged in a sexual encounter with another employee.
- theoracle101 10y agoHow the fuck is this obvious. Consensual relationships between two adults if nothing to be ashamed this. Now office relationships are illegal too? This is ridiculous
- sfeng 10y agoIt's very common for relationships between superiors-subordinates to be banned or to have very specific steps which must be taken. Of course, for a superior to be 'making out' with someone at an event is potentially a whole different thing.
- theoracle101 10y agoAnd there's proof he didn't follow such protocol is where? This is turning into a witch hunt
- sib 10y agoAnd nowhere did it say that she was his subordinate...
- chickenfries 10y agoChances are... she is. It's Uber.
- theoracle101 10y agoEasy with your pitchfork jabroni, you might hurt yourself
- chickenfries 10y agoDid I say something incorrect? He's a VP of product. Statistically, most women at Uber are his subordinate.
- theoracle101 10y agoWow you don't even have the balls to stick by you're snarky comment you coward Subordinate != someone lower in org chart that does not report to you, so no, its not statistically likely.
- chickenfries 10y ago> Wow you don't even have the balls to stick by you're snarky comment you coward I'm not sure what you mean. Which part of my comment did I back down from? "Chances are" means the same thing as "the odds are good"... > Subordinate != someone lower in org chart that does not report to you, so no, its not statistically likely. You'll have to forgive me if there is some specific business definition of subordinate I'm missing... my understanding of subordinate is more in line with this one (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/subordinate https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/subordinate) > placed in or occupying a lower class, rank, or position Just because someone doesn't directly report to you, doesn't mean that the woman's boss can't report to him. A company can have a problem with relationships that aren't between direct reports.
- sib 10y agoA subordinate in the context of a business org structure means someone who reports up into him, whether directly or indirectly. If the person reports up into someone who is his peer, say, the VP of Finance or VP of Marketing, then you would not refer to the person as his subordinate. And, in most (US) companies, a relationship between him and such a person in a different section of the company would not be considered problematic or against policy.

- matwood 10y agoA consensual sexual relationship is very different than what has been presented in those posts.
- oculusthrift 10y agothe other poster got a little too heated but I think he has a point. two adults should be able have a consensual relationship (assuming one isn't the supervisor of the other).
- fullshark 10y agoMy first thought when I read that wasn't that he sexually harassed someone, but that the toxic workplace spelled out in that NY times article now involves jockeying to get internal competition fired.
