>“We have heard that many of you are in pain and upset by yesterday’s Moving Forward session,” the email said. “While it was meant to be a dialogue, it’s obvious that those who attended did not feel heard.”
>Employees greeted the news that Ms. Lee was stepping away as a sign that Uber’s leadership was taking their complaints seriously.
One employee wrote that the company’s executives “have heard us, they know we are hurting, and they want to understand what all happened too.”
Let me get this straight. Employees are "in pain" and "hurting" and "feeling not heard" because the head of DEI (who happens to be an Asian woman) said that people should be sensitive and not use the term "Karen" as a casual slur against white women who actually represent a broad spectrum of experiences? I consider myself progressive, but it feels like we've completely jumped the shark with some of this stuff.
