isn't this the same attorney general that sold guns to Drug Cartels what a joke. He should be arrested for cooperating with Drug organizations
Uber's going to try to assasinate her now. TYT fault lol
The whole thing seems to be blown out of proportion if not totally made up. She most likely got hit on by a manager, overheard somebody saying something once or twice and wrote a sensationalist blog post about it. If she's got screenshots why didn't she publish them on her blog? Is it because the harassment isn't really harassment, or is it that it didn't happen at all?
I really hope this isn't the case. But if it is, then it needs to be dealt with seriously and quickly.

If TYT is this reluctant when it comes to sexual harassment, it makes me think that they have some kind of deal with Uber. Maybe free rides for positive reporting?
Is Ben retarded?
Uber actually stands for something?……..what would that be?
Kalanick (The guy that runs uber) referred to his own company as Boob-er on GQ. A top exec. sexually assaulted his maid just a few months ago, and there are countless sexual assault accusations against numerous drivers as is… They are in trouble, if they do not take things seriously Lyft is going to deliver a coup de gras (watch for Autonomous Chevy Bolts with pink mustaches in 2018)
Also, that "independent review" is bullshit.
Holder is on the record as Pro-Uber already, and there is a number of close ties between the firm he is a partner at (Covington & Burling) and Uber (where did Robert Wu work before joining Uber?). If that wasn't enough, the only other people that will be conducting this "independent review" (not an investigation) is a member of Uber's General Council, their head of Human Resources and a member of their Board (Huffington)
Yea… they are going to be super critical of the hand that feeds them
don't hire hot girls. big mistake.
hire 4s and 5s. too ugly and the girls are insecure and angry at the world. too hot and you're going to have issues, jealously.
most places you can ask a girl out once, if she declines and you keep asking her out it's considered harassment.
When it comes to software engineers specifically, there really are less women than men entering the field. I can't speak for Uber obviously. But go to any computer science/software engineering department in any college in America. you will see less women than in Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil engineering or in the physics dept. This is why google started that program to get more young girls interested in writing code. Despite this i think tech companies and start-ups should hire as many women as they can; and hopefully younger women will see that women can get these jobs and start supplying themselves. But the low percentage of female software engineers is no myth.
whelp I'm never using Uber now
My HR is exactly the same way. It's horrendous.
I have a hard time believing that human resources would tell someone claiming harrassment that they aren't going to pursue action against the perpetrator because he makes them a lot of money. Even if that's true, there's no way they tell you that.
No. These things do not happen in every workplace.
This is not normal behaviour.
Rape is the most common female fantasy.
ding ding ding. Red Alert Red Alert. Ana kasparian just admitted that this happens in every office. has it happened in your office Anna? please elaborate on that.
*YAWN SMOKE AND MIRRORS FROM THE LEFT* Uber is now the big bad guy for the CEO's endorsement of Trump so now we'll hear a bunch of lame shit from the media and TYT on everything any low level employee in Uber has ever done, and somehow use that as a way to attack the CEO….
you're right on the verge point your way out of the ballpark on the second point. there are very few women in engineering because there are very few women pursuing it. that is a fact. however it doesn't mean because your outnumbered 100 – 1 that gives you the right to harass the one.
Of course uber is sexist. They have low standards. Their cars and staff are rape filled
They Slapped a LIFT Advert on this vid, lol
Oh jesus. Here first day on the job and she's already making trouble. Talk about throwing a monkey wrench into the works.
Oh Ana, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind – Hey Ana, hey Ana!
Eric "Fast and Furious" Holder and the XXX Uber investigation.
Wow……. HR from hell
Holy shit! It astounds me that an engineer went through all that in this 'modern' day. I am the only woman engineer in my department and I have never had any kind of trouble with my co-workers. Although the vendors can be idiots sometimes (nothing big, just occasional callus remarks). Just hearing about this makes me so angry on her behalf. I'd stir up a huge pot of stench if something like that happened to me. My hopes are that Uber handles the results of that investigation well, for the sake of all the women working there.
The problem with Uber and Lyft drivers is no one interviews them. Everything is done via emails, if drivers were interviewed by a HR manager a lot would not be driving.
Why would Eric Holder be responsible for cracking down on wall street? Eric Holder was Attorney General who is the head of the DOJ- an executive branch agency. The DOJ is not responsible for regulating Wall Street. The DOJ levies criminal enforcement, not regulation of policy in markets. That job is for the SEC, who does not work for the DOJ. The DOJ can rule per se against wallstreet corporations, but do such action means that you believe they are in violation of Anti-Trust law and the Sherman Act. What happened in the 2007 crash had nothing to do with Trusts…
I'm confused as to why you think Eric Holder was responsible for cracking down on WallStreet?
If it happens everywhere, technically, it happens at TYT too.
Do a coverage of the turkish siege of kurukoy in mardin, Turkey
I'm pretty sure that TYT has taken a different stance with athletes. They believe that accusations should be punished without trial. 6:34
Well if this is true, the fact that this impacted her performance/promotion, this is definitely sexual harassment. Of both sorts, quid pro quo and hostile work environment.
Glad it's being looked into, seems it's a systemic issue, not a one off thing.
Many Uber drivers are propositioned by lonely drunk ladies at 2am. Where should they report this sexual harassment?
MY gosh! ana is sooooooo……… smart.
I love the comments here, where ever there is something going on you "scene kids" show up posting the stupidest things, the absence of well thought out commentary by most just goes to show how wasteful with your own time, your life, how little meaning it has to yourself, pretty sad.
well BRAVO to uber fpr taking it seriously
Girls be horny all the time.
Yes there was sexual harassment but the guilty party was too big to fire :(.
6:45.
That's basic office behavior; it's sick.
So is there sexual harassment at TYT?
They better hope the perpetrators are not black. If they are, Holder will be unable to do anything, as he is too much of a racist.
why didn't this lady go to the authorities with these allegations? No instead I'll write a book about it and makes tons of money.. if I was the accused I'd sue that bitch for slander
where is the milo being pedo apologist video
She needs to sue
