Butlately, the curtain is beingpulled backto reveal a guy who's more like an angry drunk frantically yanking levers while taking roundhouse swmgs at the Tin Man and propositioning D orothy. Uber is in a whole 10t of bad right now, and there's growmg concern that it's about tO melt down like a haywire nuclear reactor, which would leave a crater in the heart 0fSilicon Valley. Uber gave us on-demand transportation. Countless people all over the world love this new kind ofsetvice. The categoryis goingto get bigger ・ But it's possible it will d0 that without Uber. At the heart of Uber's trouble is its culture, which seems tO have been born from a one-night stand between John BeIushi's crude BIuto in スⅲ襯 al Ho リ and Ayn Rand's hypercompetitive Hank Rearden. That culture got put on public display in February, when former engineering employee Susan Fowler published a blog calling out Uber's rotten treatment of women and its general dysfunction. The place is so cutthroat, She wrote, lt seemed like every manager was fighting their peers or attempting to undermine their direct supervisor so that they could have their direct supervisor's job. lfanyone thought Fowler was a lone whiner, a few days later tech industry legend Mitch Kapor and his wife, Freada Kapor, an expert in work- place mores, published an open letter t0 Uber's board. The Kapors were early investors in the company, and they were unhappy about Uber's tepid response t0 Fowler's post and fed up with Uber's "destructive culture, ” to use their term. We are speaking up now because we are diS- appointed and frustrated; we feel we have hit a dead end in trying t0 influence the company quietly from the inside," they wrote. Aweek later, while riding in an Uber, CEO Tra- vis Kalanick was captured on video berating the driver, whO dared tO complain about cuts tO his income because Uber keeps reducing fares. ' m bankrupt because ofyou,' the driver told Kalan- ick, who then erupted. After Bloomberg obtained and publishe d the video, Kalanick found himself in the all-too-familiar position ofpublicly aP010- gizing.

Green s strongest language was reserved for road safety, in a recurring tongue-and-cheek item called "HOW tO Keep From Growing Old" (). g. , "Always speed"; "Never Stop, lOOk or listen at railroad crossings").
