Summary: Susan Fowler published a blog claiming Uber ignored her and other women's complaints about sexual harassment. A superior threatened to fire her for bringing concerns to HR. When the CEO Travis Kalanick found out he ordered an immediate investigation. Also claiming this is against everything uber stands for. Still the company is taking heat with the #DeleteUber.
Summary: After reading the details of Fowler's story it was shocking and scary that a superior was harassing her and she was told she would be fired when she reported it to HR. Back in the industrial revolution days women made much less than men but throughout times things have improved but situations of sexual harassment happen a lot. Its upsetting that this happened but I think Uber is doing the right thing and can hopefully not only fire these people involved but create a more equal working environment.
