Uber Fires 20 Amid Investigation Into Workplace Culture -
By MIKE ISAACJUNE 6, 2017
Uber has fired more than 20 employees in conjunction with an internal investigation into its workplace culture, according to a current Uber employee.
Uber has hired former United States Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.
and his law firm, Covington & Burling, to conduct an independent investigation of those claims and Uber’s overall culture.
Uber’s terminations announced on Tuesday stem from a separate investigation conducted by Perkins Coie, another law firm hired by Uber.
Lawyers from Perkins Coie consulted with Uber on the internal investigation, and Uber acted upon that firm’s recommendations.
Other employees reported systemic issues within Uber, where a premium was placed on strong performance
and growth, often at the expense of other workplace behavior.
