The sexist workplace culture at Uber Technologies Inc. starts from the top down, according to a recently leaked internal email.
In 2013, after the ride-hailing company rolled out its 50th global city, it was time to celebrate at the Shore Club in Miami, Fla. But before the festivities, CEO Travis Kalanick decided to establish employee sex rules for the celebration.
In the email obtained by Recode last week, Kalanick sent a memo to the then 400 employees at the company with the subject line: “URGENT, URGENT – READ THIS NOW OR ELSE!!!!!”
