#2If 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.

#3IANAL, but this screams "you will win a lawsuit, and Uber is such a terrible company it's worth the considerable personal inconvenience to you that you should file the lawsuit".

HR works for the organisation. It's not there to protect you. Source: work in the HR industry.

#5Just to add to what others have said... sue. Sue, and then don't be shocked when you end up as the primary plaintiff in a class action.

#6In all honesty if I were you I would sue them plain and simple. Partially to discourage this company behavior for the other employees remaining who Im sure continue to endure it. And partially as compensation for having to endure a lot of unethical and illegal work environment behaviors being endorsed by the company on the low. You really should seek being compensated for this for the good of everyone involved.

Second. The writer and the others should sue, not only to be compensated for their own injuries but to protect others who might be harassed as well.

Yep. No fan of Ellen Pao, but it seems obvious HR did her no favors over at Kleiner Perkins.

This is true, but I should point out that an organization with foresight would not permit harassment of employees, because the long-term cost of the lawsuits and bad publicity will be bad for the organization.
