Kalanick's brohaviour has nothing to do with economic success. You absolutely do not need to harass people sexually to be successful.


And he didn't sexually harass anybody. I don't see your point.


His misbehaviour is (in this case) tolerating such behaviour at Uber, something which many seem to consider a strategy to "let boys be boys" and create a great business freed from the oppressive shackles of "political correctness".

But go google and you'll find quite a few anecdotes that do make it seem as if he has a strange hangup with women himself.


I agree with everything you said but he literally did not sexually harass anybody. So saying that he did is just inaccurate. Regardless of how big of an asshole he is.
