You think bias against someone living in a particular city is comparable to bias against someone voluntarily working for a company with an unprecedented reputation for unethical behavior top to bottom stretching back years and years?

My cohort of friends, many of whom are hiring managers, won’t even patronize Uber, much less hire someone who voluntarily worked there without demonstrably showing signs of serious soul searching about the ethics of the company.

Seriously? That sounds like quite an exaggeration. Do you believe, in earnest, that all 15,000 people that work at Uber are not worth hiring?

Unprecedented? I guess you weren't around during the dotcom days or you don't know much about Wall Street companies.
