Ex-Uber employee who called out firms' harassment offered opportunity - at Uber

A recruitment firm working for Uber accidentally sent a hiring email to the female employee famed for calling out sexual harassment at the firm.

PowerToFly, a recruitment agency which prides itself on diversity recruiting and hiring, sent out an email blast to several women, including Susan Fowler - the woman who wrote a blog post last year, calling out sexual harassment, an aggressive corporate atmosphere and self-serving management at Uber.

And, as you’d expect, Fowler wasn’t having any of it. She posted on the email on Twitter, tagging in the company and its co-Founder, alongside the caption ‘Lol what the heck. Most ridiculous recruiting email ever sent in the history of recruiting emails.’
