#4I wonder if this is loyalty or fear of stock devaluation. I hope it's the former, that kind of thing is beautiful to see in employees.

#5Uber is in a difficult position. On the one hand, Kalanick has built a massive company. On the other hand, Holder's investigation turned up serious problems with the work culture. And employees, drivers, and investors are caught between these.
To understand it from the inside, the best source I've seen is Susan Fowler's post "Reflecting on one very strange year at Uber". https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/2/19/reflecting-on-on...

#8Think of the Uber controversy as a trial. It may be a trial by press or a trial by Twitter. But it's had real consequences, like a real trial.
You're a judge in this trial. You've heard the prosecution make a very eloquent case. You've been convinced. You've delivered your verdict. And the sentence has been executed.
But wait. Didn't we skip a step? Is there a missing step in this procedure? Perhaps that's a good exercise for the reader.

#9We worshiped the corporate hierarchy so much we protest it's destruction! Even when it was evil!
Some people just like to be told what to do I guess.

#10As Gruber pointed out, not surprising- it was his company for a long time.
