If you saw any of your current coworkers do cocaine, would you go straight to the cops and what would you tell them? What do you think they would actually end up doing about it?
I think the cops would not have enough evidence to actually do anything about it besides he said/she said, and you would totally alienate yourself among your coworkers essentially screwing over your career.
My point is that it is not nearly as black and white as you make it out to be and it is usually better to be safe (don't do anything) than sorry (speak out and ruin your career/friends/network over it).
It seems a lot more constructive than complaining about it anonymously in the news over a year later. I mean, a bad culture persists because people allow it to, so I don't understand why they waited to fight it, given their claims.
He must not have been a "high performer".
Do-gooders are being instructed that the only way to "improve company culture" is to snitch on their colleagues for victimless crimes.
"Uber’s aggressive workplace culture spilled out at a global all-hands meeting in late 2015 in Las Vegas, where the company hired Beyoncé to perform at the rooftop bar of the Palms Hotel. Between bouts of drinking and gambling, Uber employees used cocaine in the bathrooms at private parties, said three attendees, and a manager groped several female employees. (The manager was terminated within 12 hours.) One employee hijacked a private shuttle bus, filled it with friends and took it for a joy ride, the attendees said."
We are also told that the NYT has non-public information on this from their 30 interviews, reviews of internal emails, chat logs and tape-recorded meetings, of which, precisely one person is willing to attach their name to this, due to fears of reprisal.
Given that the NYT just claimed to have evidence of a felony, shouldn't the police be involved here? I mean, it's very clear in my opinion that the NYT is trying to tell us that all that confidential information they can't show us somehow proves that Uber was complicit in that incident, so I'm really wondering when something will hit the courts?
Or is there a case already going on that I don't know about?
