Theres a pattern thats becoming clear: a news story breaks revealing Uber to have been engaged in illegal, unethical, or just downright gross behaviour. Uber half-heartedly swears its an exception, or its in the past, or that actually it is the law that is wrong anyway. Everyone expresses outrage, arguing that this is surely the story whoch will spell the end of Uber by causing its customers/investors/employees to abandon it in droves. And Uber continues to grow, and cement itself further in the lives of millions of customers.You could see that this spring, when Uber leapt headfirst into a sexual harassment scandal from whoch it is still attempting to extract itself. First one employee, then a trickle, then a flood, came forward with allegations that the companys working environment was hostile to women, and that HR simply didnt care.Ubers chief executive Travis Kalanick announced an external investigation, but four months later pre-empted that investigation by firing 20 people, and upholding almost 100 other complaints, in an all-staff meeting.
