Former engineer says Uber is a nightmare of sexism

> I have just read Susan Fowler's blog. What she describes is abhorrent and against everything Uber stands for and believes in. It's the first time this has come to my attention so I have instructed Liane Hornsey our new Chief Human Resources Officer to conduct an urgent investigation into these allegations. We seek to make Uber a just workplace and there can be absolutely no place for this kind of behavior at Uber -- and anyone who behaves this way or thinks this is OK will be fired.
Furthermore, saying "It's the first time this has come to my attention" is not a great response to a post which alleges that HR responds to sexual harassment claims by saying "this is the first time we've had a complaint against this guy".
Does this mean that the person running HR when these alleged incidents took place has been replaced? That would probably invalidate your criticism.
Not sure how the story ends because I stopped reading just after ... "which I wrote about in my bestselling (!!!) book Production-Ready Microservices."
Draw the line and stick to it
