Yeah a dude was driven to kill himself and left his family behind and some bad optics are what matter most, please tell me I'm misreading this somehow?
- elvinyung 10y agoOk, maybe not "most". But I hope you get my point -- even at the most pragmatic, even considering that technically Uber might be right because Thomas only worked less than six months, it seems like a terrible PR move to deny the benefits claim.
- Applejinx 10y agoYou could say matters most 'to Uber', without it being as shocking a statement since they are famously a big corporation with a loose connection to ethics and human morals. If anything, they've got an inverse connection and need to continually signal that they are fierce and mean, and won't make any concessions to anybody or anything.
