She should be recognized for the work she did, but awarding the pulitzer to this is a reach.

I see this as a media-train hop. If this same situation had happened in a multibillion-dollar financial company that didn't have as many subsequent PR issues, would we be praising her as high?

I'm not trying to take any thing away from her. I want Uber to crash and burn and be forgotten. I want her to receive as much as possible in terms of justice. What I DON'T want is for this to be spun into click-bait PR for the pulitzer, and tangentially - Uber. What about the millions of women who get harassed daily but work for less "important" companies? Shouldn't they be considered potential pulitzer winners for their blog posts and facebook statuses?

The only reason anybody cares is because Uber is A Big Name. This will not change her life for the better. Uber will continue doing as it has been doing. The issue will not be solved. But these articles will get clicked on.

I don't know if you are aware of who Pulitzer was, or what the award is about, but 'a media-train hop' often describes what wins the pulitzer pretty well.

So just keep on keeping on then?

She didn't reform it at all.

She wrote about her experience, which was incredibly brave and hard to do. She put her future career on the line. And she was the right person at the right company at the right time (or wrong, depending on how you look at it).

She didn't investigate much at all. She didn't uncover much at all. She certainly hasn't reformed uber, but caused a spotlight on uber that has caused reform to happen.

It is an analogy. It breaks down. I clearly admire her but am trying to point out that there is someone just like her aiming at a Pulitzer.

It was very brave of her to do what she did but I can't help but feel like her courageous act is being squandered by the rest of us. Uber is certainly the most egregious example of blatant sexism and just general aggressive incompetence but certainly not the only one.

Google just recently refused to release salary numbers across their workforce because it "would be too expensive" which is really another way of saying the truth would paint them in a very harsh light. Going further back the big three were colluding to keep engineer salaries low with non-poaching agreements.

The industry as a whole is unhealthy and it is important to continue calling out all the bullshit and not becoming complacent with the status quo. For every Susan Fowler there are a few thousand that suffer in silence or worse yet they speak up and are punished.
