Case one: problems in the workplace and how business law steps in. New york times, by mike isaac feb 22, 2017. A director shouted a homophobic slur at a subordinate during a heated confrontation in a meeting. Another manager threatened to beat an underperforming employee"s head in with a baseball bat. Until this week, this culture was only whispered about in silicon valley. Susan fowler, an engineer who left uber in december, published a blog post about her time at the company. She detailed a history of discrimination and sexual harassment by her managers, which she said was shrugged off by uber"s human resources department. Ms. fowler said the culture was stoked and even fostered by those at the top of the company. It seemed like every manager was fighting their peers and attempting to undermine their direct supervisor so that they could have their direct supervisor"s job, ms. fowler wrote.
