Uber criticized for standing by executive accused of ignoring discrimination claim

As Uber CEO departs, questions have been raised as to why its CTO - who was included in a viral post about discrimination and harassment - still has a job

The resignation of Uber's embattled CEO Travis Kalanick has led some to question why the company's chief technology officer (CTO), who was included in an engineer's viral account of sexual harassment and discrimination, has kept his job.

Kalanick announced his departure this week after months of scandals, most notably the allegations of former employee Susan Fowler, who published a detailed blogpost in February about rampant sexism at Uber and management's repeated refusal to respond to her complaints.
