Uber Leaving London! How will the company deal losing their biggest market in Europe?

Uber’s chief executive, Dara Khosrowshahi, apologized in an open letter on Monday for the company’s “mistakes.” Apparently Uber will not be renewing its transportation authority in London. “While Uber has revolutionized the way people move in cities around the world, it’s equally true that we’ve got things wrong along the way,” Mr. Khosrowshahi wrote. “On behalf of everyone at Uber globally, I apologize for the mistakes we’ve made.” Apparently, the main issues that were occurring were difficulties with Uber's background checks on their employees. Some criminals would easily slip through the cracks, and with the position that Uber is in now with complaints about criminal drivers, it was an easy decision for the new CEO to back out. This statement by the new CEO seems nerve racking for Uber as a company.

Gender Pay Gap at Uber?

Uber Gender Pay Gap? A few months ago Uber was found of paying women less than men.  This is obviously a big problem.  In 2017 with all we know women should not be getting paid less.  Former CEO Travis Kalanick has stepped down and reports have followed him on the way out that he was not always fair to women.  A new CEO has been hired and change has been made, however.  Uber has promised that the gender pay gap will be closed.  We'll see where Uber goes from here.

Uber's CLO Salle Yoo to Leave the Company

Uber’s Chief Legal Officer to Leave the Company: Chief Legal Officer Salle Yoo sent an email to employees, saying she would step down after helping Dara Khosrowshahi find her successor. Yoo has been in charge of Uber’s legal efforts for about five years. Although she was mostly successful in helping the company navigate tricky regulatory quandaries, the San Francisco company now faces a legal nightmare. This is a very big loss for Uber considering that Yoo helped out with issues. The reason for the possible leave could be due to the investigation of federal probes into potential foreign bribes and the use of software to thwart law enforcement stings. The list goes on about Yoo and what she did to help Uber thrive and survive. Uber will definitely lose a lot of legal knowledge and help now that she has departed.
