Is Uber sincere about changing?

from Too Embarrassed to Ask Hosted by Recode

Recode's Johana Bhuiyan talks with Kara Swisher and Lauren Goode about Uber's newly announced efforts to reinvent itself after a months-long cultural crisis. The company's C-suite has been completely upended by a string of scandals, with CEO Travis Kalanick taking an indefinite leave of absence and his close ally Emil Michael, Uber's SVP of business, being pressured by the board to step down. Bhuiyan says investigations into the improper handling of a rape case involving a passenger and an Uber driver, as well as sexual harassment allegations within the company, have had damaging ripple effects, impeding Uber’s ability to continue attracting both workers and customers, and forcing a more serious introspection than ever.
