As a codename, Ripley is genius. As a business strategy for dealing with regulators, it’s mind-numbingly stupid and ultimately incredibly counter-productive. The Uber decision making by process and internal culture will be fascinating source material for management studies and probably get a good TV treatment in the same genre as those ‘air crash investigations’ shows.
If an organization intentionally builds tools to enable illegal activity, does this not reveal criminal intent?
Am I confused to see Uber as an immoral and borderline criminal organization for the way it treats drivers, the way it treats its female employees, for the ways it pressures local governments?
I have trouble understanding its popularity in the presence of competition.
I also can’t imagine how women would be OK with using Uber after the numerous allegations of the company’s toxic culture.
