I mean this in the nicest way possible, so please don't take this as anything personally directed at you, but: any employee of Uber that feels strongly about this should find another company to work at. If you're working in tech, in the current employment market in the Bay Area, finding another job is not hard. Not easy, both in the sense that leaving a job can be scary, and that interviews can be draining - but doable.

There are other companies out there that solve interesting, challenging problems and don't have this toxic culture. There are other companies with talented people. And if enough of your coworkers disagree with Uber's culture, policies, etc., then the talented, moral people that you work with at Uber may even come with you.

The only way Uber will ever pay attention is if it affects their bottom line. Employees leaving, or people turning down offers is, person-for-person, one of the most impactful ways to do this.

That comes across as a variant of "blaming the victim." Telling an internet stranger to sacrifice himself to some higher cause is not really a noble act. Maybe he can do more good by trying to change the company from the inside. Or maybe he just needs the job and doesn't need to be a hero.

I don't understand this line of thinking. If a company or it's management sucks, then leave. It's not a sacrifice, it's not being a hero. It's in your own best interest. It's also like being a conscious consumer by not buying stuff from shit companies: You can be a conscious employee by not working for shit companies.

I don't see any reason to try to changing a shitty company. It makes more sense to join a great company and help them grow.

What's the success rate of this? Keep in mind that their HR department does not have the capacity to recognize repeated instances of sexual harrassment, so someone on the inside I guess will want to transfer to HR first, in order to help there, then maybe get promoted into upper management? After that they can demote themselves to driver training.

I guess Ruby on Rails really can do anything.

Finding "a job" may not be hard if you're not looking for top companies. Finding a place with comparable pay/equity/benefits to your current gig? Not easy, even in the Bay Area.
