what's wrong and what is Susan issue to do with Amit ?
what? two months?
the tech crunch article says he was expected to be fired by Google over harassment and he left before it became public
did Vic leave for same reason?
👏
Wow!
It is distraction, amit has nothing to do with ongoing issue. But on positive note, even a high performer will not be spared if such instance comes to eye.
You have no clue
If he was a high performer. Chances are, it was buyer's remorse or politics.
Man the uber shit storm doesn't show any signs of slowing down.
Google Trojan-horsed us. Shameless!
that's being clueless. it's Uber fault if they didn't knew about it. not Google
That's totally dump fuck comment. Did G hire Amit? No fucking way. Uber hired Amit, if Uber doesn't do any background check, it's because Uber's stupidity!
Thuan and VMware gang won the game. Despite Thuan admitted last week he forgiven a sexual harrassing manager back in 2014.
I agree. There must be some political context. Why did Uber need both CTO and SVP of Eng? Watching Uber news is like House of Cards...
What was the specific nature of Amit's infraction at Google? (no personal information requested here though, just what exactly was he fired for)
Did you even read the article?
Yes, I read the whole article. Sexual harassment takes many forms, and that article isn't specific about what form exactly he was fired for.
It's just Uber that has the problem though? All of tech companies have issues deeply ingrained.
Have you read the article? The alleged instance happened when he was at Google
except that in that case it does years between the first complain and him being pushed out of Google. I heard the stories of complain about him on memegen several years ago, well before he quit. also in this case, I haven't heard of any complain about him made at Uber (doesn't mean they don't exist) but you can't blame Uber for firing him just now if Google indeed kept it secret
