- chris_wot 9y agoYeah, but this could break some restaraunts. OpenTable should be compensating those restaraunts affected, at the very least. And this is different in that it didn’t just affect OpenTable’s rivals, affected the third party business directly.
- vamsipk 9y agoIf it was not sanctioned by OpenTable, why should they compensate? If a government employee does this, should the government compensate?
- eridius 9y agoIt was not sanctioned by them, but they're still responsible for the actions of their employee.

- cozzyd 9y agoI mean, Chicago pays something like 100 million dollars a year in police misconduct settlements...
- scythe 9y agoYou mean such as in the case of e.g. police brutality or mishandled prosecution? The government is indeed on the hook. It is OpenTable's responsibility to ensure that it hires ethical people and that it encourages them to behave ethically and verifies they are doing so. Anything else would be insanity.
- astura 9y agoYes, the government pays out settlements due to employee misconduct too.

- tomjakubowski 9y agoguelo's point is that Uber's actions were institutional, and the organization didn't even make appearances to do anything about it
- srtjstjsj 9y agoYou and others missed parent's dry humor. FTA: > it's not just a rogue employee or two
