It's still taking me a while to dissociate Uber with Travis Kalanick and his army of bros, even though they seem to be trying a lot of new initiatives.
Anyone have a good article on Uber's attempts to de-bro itself?

- loceng 9y agoUber support still has dark patterns within it - this organization is trying to win by optimizing at all costs. I don't trust them, and worse, based on passed verified behaviour of Uber's - I feel somewhat hesitant even speaking badly of Uber in case of retaliation. We need strong whistler-blower laws with substantial pre-defined payouts to disincentive this kind of behaviour in every organization and at every level.

- atonse 9y agoWow thank you. I just might resurrect my account with them.

- atonse 9y agoI stopped because of the sexist culture. They're reforming the sexist culture and seem to be clamping down hard on it. What else would you like me to think about with them? (Genuine question). I'm perfectly happy with Lyft, so I'm not dying to resurrect my account. But that was my main concern as that led to a lot of the other cultural problems they had.
