It's very common that startups have such issues. You've got a bunch of younger inexperienced managers and an inexperienced HR department.

What I don't understand is, why don't investors compel such valuable startups to get experienced HR? Do they calculate that the lawsuits will cost less than outsourcing HR or otherwise getting adult supervision? Or are they just blind to it?

I think startup is a pretty generous term for the growth stage that Uber was in at the time

I agree in that I think startup is a vague term. I think what is important is that it's a young company funded by external investment, not organic growth. Why don't investors care about such issues enough to be proactive?
