Uber Facing Allegations of Sexual Harassment from Former Engineer
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Uber has hired former Attorney General Eric Holder as the company faces
allegations of sexual harassment from a former engineer. In a public
blog post titled "Reflecting on One Very, Very Strange Year at Uber,"
engineer Susan Fowler Rigetti wrote about how she was propositioned for
sex by a male colleague on her very first day working with a new team at
Uber. She says her report of this incident, and multiple others, were
ignored by Uber's human resources department.
