I really hope they're able to corroborate some of the claims about how HR responded, because there was a whole list of responses that make it clear that at least one person in HR is a liability to the company:
* waving away sexual harassment because the offender is a "high performer"
* repeatedly lying about the same person committing their "first offense"
* telling the reporter that retaliation should be expected and there's nothing HR can do about it
* implying the reporter must be the problem because the common element in all of her complaints is her
* telling the reporter that it's unprofessional to report these problems via email and to keep records of them
These are all responses of an HR department that is going out of their way to not hear complaints, and any company of Uber's size should be very, very concerned about this attitude coming back to bite them in the ass. If these responses all came from one HR contact, that person should be out on their ass ASAP. If they came from various people, then HR management is completely fucked.
