Any of the three anonymous witnesses the NYT mentions as having seen the cocaine could have contacted the cops.

Of course they could have. I want to know in what situation you would have gone to the cops for. Your comment was "You'd think someone here would go to the cops, no?".

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).

I would expect the cops to bust someone for drug possession. They have three witnesses and they could drug test the users. I don't think that's a he said/she said situation. You have multiple witnesses and they can be searched for drugs & drug residue. It might ruin their career at Uber, but do they really want a career at Uber at that point?

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.

lol you'd expect a drug bust because witnesses saw someone doing cocaine in a bathroom in Vegas....?

Did you really make an account just to post that?
