As an employment attorney and litigator, I have found this story interesting to follow. Following a former employee’s critical blog post accusing Uber of sexual harassment and gender bias, Uber’s Board hired Eric Holder and his law partner at the law firm of Covington & Burling, LLP to conduct an investigation of the work place environment. According to Uber’s Statement of Tuesday, June 13, the Board adopted Covington’s recommendations (published here). Uber CEO Travis Kalanick announced on Tuesday that he was taking a leave of absence to reflect on changes needed in the leadership team.
