It might be the right time for the people at Uber to self-select based on their values.

It might be time for people to realize that the lived experience of the vast majority of Uber employees does not match the ridiculous charicature that the media portrays. (I am not saying there wasn't harassment or bullying, that Susan's stories aren't true, or that the board and upper management seems like a circus right now.) Source, meyself and my co workers at Uber.

Btw, I am an Uber employee, AMA.

It's interesting to me how many people who say the environment is "not toxic" are men in the tech organization who've been there a long time.

I've helped 2 women find new work, moving from the chaos of Uber. Both saying variants of "the shit I took there was only offset by the stock's possible valur and the waymo stuff calls that into question."

Is the divide between men and women's experience there that intensely different, I wonder?

Thanks AMA #1:

Did Kalanick really set up and encourage a bro Culture? Did he respect fellow employees as humans or was just running behind business success?

That's just awfully close to that "9 out of 10 people enjoy..." joke.
