Firing 2 or 3 people might be symbolic. Firing >20 isn't.

  Not that I really agree with parent but Uber has 12,000+ employees so 20 people is, what, 0.16% of their workforce at most? There are a lot of stories about Uber's culture and conduct so I honestly expected a lot more especially since culture issues usually run very deep and touch quite a lot of people. But who knows, maybe it's the correct amount of people. But I can sorta understand it coming off as almost symbolic due to the low number.

    To be serious enough for immediate firing its a hell of a lot - this is with my industrial relations hat on BTW.

      Was it an immediate firing? Maybe I missed that part but I didn't see any details around the firings other than the fact that they were fired. Though I'm sure it's a likely good assumption that it was immediate.

  ... out of 12000 tho'

    It's only out of the 200 or so reports they had, I think a lot of people didn't bother because they didn't think it would be taken seriously. Once it's clear it might actually work more will come up
