While uber is a shifty as hell company at best I am not sure if they are wrong here without any mandated reporter requirements.
While it is a bad look one "oops" from something that looks bad could cause harm to an innocent party for what victimized parties usually report already. That could rightfully lead to them being at fault in a multimillion dollar lawsuit and even worse headlines like "Uber got kids taken away from Gold Star father". Seems shitty but the right thing to do at scale.
- CaptainZapp 7y agoI think the main issue here is the public face they try to maintain (we're a changed company, tech bro' dude culture is now erradicated, we take security very seriously, etc ad nauseum) with what they are really pulling off in the back end. Namely the exact same shit that they always did. Do they still charge $1 "security" surcharge, which Uber actually just pocketed?
- sceptical 7y agoHow can Uber pocket this surcharge? Clearly Uber pays for background checks, insurance as well as the investigators mentioned here.
