Too Toxic Even for Silicon Valley?

It looks like Uber is firing another of Travis Kalanick, brogrammer friends, and giving the Uber president an involuntary vacation:

Facing accusations that Uber executives turned a blind eye to sexual harassment and other corporate misbehavior, the ride-hailing service’s board moved on Sunday to shake up the company’s leadership, ahead of the release this week of an investigation’s findings on its troubled culture.

Uber directors were weighing a three-month leave of absence for Travis Kalanick, the chief executive who built the start-up into a nearly $70 billion entity, according to three people with knowledge of the board’s agenda.

In addition, a representative for Uber’s board said the directors “unanimously voted” to adopt all of the recommendations made in a report by the former attorney general Eric H. Holder Jr., who was retained to investigate the company’s culture. One of the recommendations included the departure of a top lieutenant to Mr. Kalanick, Emil Michael, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the discussions were confidential.

It appears that there are limits on just how unethical someone can be, and just how much of a sh%$ show that they can make out a company's culture.

I would have figured that this would have all been dismissed as "disruptive".

It does seem to be the rather larcenous ethics of tech startups these days.
