His response was... to have the chief of HR open an investigation. HR was the problem!!!!!
What would you suggest then? This is the responsibility of HR. If hr is the problem then the head of HR needs to be let go.
+1. Without an independent audit how is he going to get unbiased results. If HR says they fucked up what does that say about them?
Depends on who/what fucked up. If it is an individual's mistake, you fire him/her. But if it is a policy/culture, an entire org might be going out !
Fuck you Travis! You are the reason why Uber have toxic culture!
Travis is an ass. He knows it's going on and is intentionally ignoring it in favor of performance and money. This is a PR move and I know it'll just die after some time. Nothing will change.
whoa 2 star in the app store? why? it's got 4.2 in the play store
Because the UI rewrite is super buggy and forces you to share your location always not just when app is in use. You can't even access your user profile setting without accepting the location always on. It's a pretty terrible experience and people are really pissed.
I get contacted for various positions in uber on a regular basis. I had heard it was toxic but after Susan Fowler story I'm going to respond with a link to her blog post.
this is the right course, will do the same. only way anybody gets punished for this type of behavior is if their performance start hurting and they stop being able to hire people
I've heard the sex harassment manager involved in the case has gone back to Google. So very likely Nothing would be justified.
No! That one was not related. The harrassing managing demoted to IC, then fired months later. He was not a major player, just some startup junkie bro
What's his name?
Seems Susan is quite the fool in this saga... Anyone who continually contacts HR is bound to be identified as a "problematic individual".
She did what we're all afraid to do. She's the brave one in this saga. Mad respect
She basically followed the rules to a T, and now has a great job. I think her reputation is intact.
