> the best outcome for Uber

It's OK if it's the best outcome, so long as those who broke the law are fairly punished. At this point, I'm not aware that Susan has initiated a lawsuit, so I'm guessing she'll be contacted with a settlement offer.

This is a great example of how allowing a douche to act in a way that everyone knows violates sexual harassment laws can cost a company money and reputation.

If you're someone's boss, don't talk about sex with them unless you are sure they will be happy to have that conversation and won't have second thoughts within the statute of limitations.



If you are someone's boss don't proposition them, period. It is an abuse of power.


Of course! My point was that even if you acknowledge some possible gray area, it's still a stupid thing to do.
