Uber settles with woman over obtaining medical records after she was raped
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; engineers, is there really no other company with the same interesting problems to work on but Uber? I can understand staying with a company past a big scandal and shake up in management, who knows, maybe you’ll be remembered as one of the people who made the company better now that the only way is up. But when scandal after scandal after scandal rolls by, and the common denominator of them is the very people who works there, is this really the company you want to support?<p>Why did you become an engineer? I can understand if your answer is money, respect or ”doing math and coding is fun” really, that’s enough for me, you don’t need to do it to save the world, and Uber does offer money, respect, and opportunities to do math and code. But, wouldn’t you rather sleep knowing you don’t support a company that screws over people like this poor woman? There are plenty of companies screaming after good engineers, why do you support such a rotten, morally bankrupt management by writing their code for them? Can you honestly talk about the stuff you knew your company did, and all the opportunities out there you passed on, to your children with a straight face?<p>Because I would like to see the snakes in Uber’s management write their own code and explain away responsibility the next time a scandal hits them.
