Not that I really agree with parent but Uber has 12,000+ employees so 20 people is, what, 0.16% of their workforce at most? There are a lot of stories about Uber's culture and conduct so I honestly expected a lot more especially since culture issues usually run very deep and touch quite a lot of people.

But who knows, maybe it's the correct amount of people. But I can sorta understand it coming off as almost symbolic due to the low number.



To be serious enough for immediate firing its a hell of a lot - this is with my industrial relations hat on BTW.


Was it an immediate firing? Maybe I missed that part but I didn't see any details around the firings other than the fact that they were fired.

Though I'm sure it's a likely good assumption that it was immediate.
