I wonder if it's a good idea to apply to Uber. With all the controversy, you could argue for a pretty good salary bump or signing bonus to compensate.
Though, if executives are quitting after 6 months even before their stock vests, maybe it's more than just the outrage machine news clamoring for clicks and views.
- CydeWeys 10y agoThere's lots of other companies out there that are paying good salaries that don't have these problems. It doesn't make sense to me to seek out a ship that's taking on water to sign up for. I know some Uber employees and none of them are happy with the situation.
- MichaelBurge 10y agoYou're probably right. The self-driving car stuff sounded like fun too, but not if you're being sued over it.
- aianus 10y agoOf course it makes sense, they would be more desperate to hire and you would have less competition from others who have ethical problems with Uber.
- CydeWeys 10y agoHow are you so blase about jumping into a toxic work environment? A little bit more money isn't worth those conditions, assuming you could even get it. And keep in mind that a lot of the compensation is going to be in Uber equity -- which is affected by this scandal.
- aianus 10y agoThe people I know at Uber don't think it's a toxic work environment and I have no reason to distrust them in favor of a couple of accusatory blog posts from disgruntled ex-employees that I've never met.
- CydeWeys 10y agoThe people I know at Uber say differently. But whatever, it's your life and your decision. I wouldn't go work there now.
