5. No excuse for such deplorable behavior. No excuse at any level.

Chauvinistic, racist and homophobic attitudes were far too normal at Uber. Once in a group chat, team members referred to a new Asian American recruit as slanty eye joe. It was normal for guys to refer to other guys as fags when they didn’t participate in private parties where sex and drugs were involved.


No excuse.

Engineers are generally excellent people. The Uber lot seem to be exceptionally arrogant. They have no excuse.

Further, the management has no excuse for not bearing down on such abuse and stamping it out.

Deplorable.
