If you are sexually harassed, and HR doesn't do anything about it, you should sue. Don't expect HR to change. If the stories in this article are true, and if the evidence is as strong as the article says it is, this is a slam-dunk case for sexual harassment, hostile work environment, retaliation, etc.

A year is a typical vesting schedule for stock options though.
I read nothing about options in the article, did she mention those somewhere else?

If anything, OP's subsequent employment by Stripe is a very strong endorsement for the workplace culture of the company.
I actually used Stripe as an example before I realized that's where she had moved to so consider that a double endorsement, it's not like I have any dog in that particular race but I know some people that work there and without fault they report working there is a dream come true. The brothers have something good going there and I'll bet that when the dust settles Uber will be part of that dust and Stripe will have I…
this is fucked up. why not sue? if everything in here is true, this is easy lawsuit money.
Even if they can get it rushed through the count payment takes forever by which time she would likely owe a lot of money to a lawyer.
Ideally she would sue, win quickly if the allegations are true, and move on. But when does that ever happen?

Here's my positive thing. Taking a cab to the airport from my house in Cambridge, MA runs about $42 before tip, so call it $48 or so. An UberX costs $24.30 right now and UberPool costs $14.30 right now. Additionally, I can summon the ride more easily and get better feedback about the arrival time, giving me more confidence/less anxiety that I'll have a problem getting to the airport on time. As a consumer, by reducin…
Uber can afford to subsidize your ride for the next 10 years or so. That doesn't mean it's long term viable, it just means that they're pumping money from one pot to another until the first one is empty and won't be refilled. They've raised over $10B...
HR doesn't work for you, it works for the company.
By all indications, Uber has a toxic work culture that costs them both top talent and organizational velocity. I'm a college senior at a well-regarded engineering school. My CS classmates - especially women - simply do not apply to Uber, in large part because of its reputation for internal misogyny and general assholery. Four classmates interned there last summer, and as far as I know none are interested in returning…
Edit: Management should be far more concerned that Uber is allegedly an environment that systematically enables sexual harassment and discrimination against women.

> HR serves to protect the company, you have to think in HR's shoes. If the complainant goes away and finds another job the problem is solved. While it's true HR is there for protect the company it's false to say that if a complainant just "goes away" that the problem is solved. HR also has to ensure the company keeps a good culture, avoids lawsuits and stays a great place to work for the majority to ensure talent is…
No, no, it's leadership that sets the culture. HR is merely the arm of the leadership.
