Susan J. Fowler Harassment and Sexism Letter

By Angelique Hill Roebuck on Dec 28 th 2017December 28, 2017

On February 19, 2017, former Uber employee Susan J. Fowler wrote a blog post reflecting on her year working for the company. Her blog post featured stories of how a culture of sexual harassment and sexism ran rampant throughout the company, which included a negligent Human Resources department and a victim blaming mentality when Fowler decided to seek help from within the company.[29] Fowler’s open letter addressed sexual harassment claims that occurred at Uber, which brought on an outcry by the public – resulting in an Uber boycott. Fowler’s Tweet stating “I wrote something up this weekend about my year at Uber, and why I left:” including a link sharing the infamous blog post quickly gained attention.[30] This tweet quickly went viral, resulting in over twenty-two thousand retweets and over thirty thousand likes.
