  1. Do you think that the former engineer was acting consistent with a code of ethics when she posted about sexual harassment in her former employer, Uber's workplace? Could she have acted differently? Conduct a search to find the "Covington Report" which outlined the consulting group's recommendations after evaluating 3 of Uber's issues:
    • (1) Uber's workplace environment as it related to the allegations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in Fowler's post;
    • (2) whether the company's policies and practices were sufficient to prevent and properly address discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in the workplace; and
    • (3) what steps Uber could take to ensure that its commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace was reflected not only in the company's policies but made real in the experiences of each of Uber's employees.
  2. Submit the link to the Covington Report you discovered in your research.
  3. Review the Covington Report and identify in your opinion at least 3 recommendations that you evaluated as on-point and address the inappropriate sexual harassment issues.
  4. Review the Covington Report and identify in your opinion at least 3 recommendations that you didn't understand how they are related to the objective of preventing any gender discrimination or future sexual harassment in the Uber workplace.
