A former Uber employee’s disturbing claims of workplace sexism reignite calls to #deleteUber

On Sunday afternoon, Susan Fowler – now an engineer at payments company Stripe – published an essay alleging that Uber’s human resources representatives ignored multiple reports of sexual harassment and sexism during her year-long stint at the company. In response to her essay, calls to #deleteUber – a hashtag that gained steam when people thought the car-hailing service was trying to profit off the backs of taxi drivers protesting President Donald Trump’s travel ban – have cropped up on Twitter again.
