I dunno. I've seen an awful lot of loyalty to ideas that don't deserve loyalty over the past several years, and it seems to keep ruining good things.

A toxic culture really isn't one that deserves loyalty, and Kalanick inarguably built a toxic culture into the fabric of Uber. He's not the only one, but he's ultimately the responsible party. If you want to kill a toxic culture that starts at the top, you simply can't leave him in charge.

It isn't surprising to me that ~1000 people in an organization would want the toxic culture to continue. There's a small subset of people who thrive in a toxic culture, and they, obviously, don't want it to go away.

I'm sure some of these folks just like the guy and never had any problems with him, personally, perhaps because they're a young white male. Those folks probably aren't actively defending the toxic culture of Uber; they're just naively assuming that because they didn't experience it, it doesn't exist and that Kalanick is the victim of a smear campaign.

I doubt you can pigeonhole everyone who supports travis into a single category. Some might not want any change at uber but I think more of them just like Travis and see the many positive things he's done for them, some think changes can be made with him still on top, some are just virtue signalling to the remaining management who are still Travis's people or for Travis himself if/when he returns.

Really? This is such a mean generalization of 1000 people who you have never even met...

Yeah, I'm just awful.

Have you been following the Uber story, at all, over the past several years?
