The despicable behavior at Uber is far from a few individuals. At the very least their entire HR division is negligent at best and malicious at worse. The problems with managers at Uber seem to apply to most of them. I'd advise anyone working at Uber to GTFO ASAP and hope the stigma doesn't follow them around for the rest of their career. I can hardly see anyone who worked in HR at Uber ever working in HR again.
Uber did nothing for public transportation. They gave another way for people with money to disregard public transportation. It's just another "innovation" that provides another service to the rich at the expense of the common good.
