Summary:

Analysis:
Earlier today, Recode reported that Uber had asked its new SVP of engineering, Amit Singhal to resign after he failed to disclose the circumstances involved in his departure from Google. According to Recode, Singhal resigned from Google in early 2016 after an investigation into a sexual harassment claim brought against him by another employee. Singhal has denied the allegations, but according to Recode, Google found them “credible.”Obviously, this situation looks bad for Uber. The company has had a disastous 2017, and losing a high-profile hire over an undisclosed sexual harassment allegation doesn’t help, especially since Uber has already been under fire for issues involving sexual harassment. Earlier this month, former Uber engineer went crazy in a blog post that went viral. In response to Fowler’s allegations, Uber has opened up an independent investigation headed-up by former Attorney General Eric Holder.
But for Google, the situation doesn’t look much better. According to Recode, even though Google found the claims against Singhal “credible,” he was allowed to leave quietly, basically on his own terms. Google even threw him a goodbye party.
